What is recorded here

In gently undulating terrain, the River Suir flows NE-SW c. 150m to the N. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'There is on the sd lands an old castle a thatcht house with a Bawne about it' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 241). The 1640 the townland was known as 'Ballytarsny-Mckeorish' and the proprietor was 'Edward Boyton of Cashell Alderman. Irish Papist' (ibid.). This bawn is associated with a tower house (TS060-0116001-) which is incorporated into an 18th-century house which has an associated distillery complex. The present high stone wall appears to be contemporary with the house and distillery complex.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS060-116002
