What is recorded here

Muckross Road castle is a truncated tower house dating from 1450, reduced in 1830 into a folly with an ogee dome, then derelict by 1990 and refenestrated in 1998. Its west turret still holds a limestone spiral staircase, while red brick and slate mark later hands shaping the old stone. It stands detached beside a modern garden, small enough to belong to a household yet tall enough to remember when height was warning.

Detached gable-fronted single-bay three-storey building, built c. 1450, originally a tower house with single-bay three-stage engaged circular turret to north-west elevation. Extensively renovated and truncated, c. 1830, with openings remodelled to accommodate use as folly and ogee dome added to turret. Derelict, c. 1990, renovated and refenestrated in 1998. Replacement pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack and having lead and slate profiled dome with weathercock to turret. Uncoursed rubble stone walls. Limestone relieving arches to openings, with reused sill to ground floor south having cuts for two mullions. South elevation has three-light window with red brick corbelled heads and slate sills, c. 1830. Leaded timber framed window to north. Limestone spiral staircase within west turret. Tall hedge to roadway. Building now within garden of late twentieth century house.
