Ardagh Ho (in ruins)

In pasture, on a low hillock, to the rear of a farmyard. The overgrown remains of a rectangular structure (int. 17m E-W; 3.6m N-S; wall T 0.53m), known as Browne's Castle. It consists of the E and W gables, each with a short return of its N and S walls. The E gable (H c. 3m) has a central fireplace. Two inserted concrete walls (max. L 3.45m) project to the W from the internal face of the E gable. The W gable (H c. 5m) is incorporated into the NE corner of a one-storey vernacular house.
