Castlemorris House, County Kerry

What is recorded here

Castlemorris House in Ballymullen once put its army officer behind a glazed porch: you could see him, he could see you, and you still hadn’t been admitted. Even the front door had you standing to attention.

Bay windows to left hand side gable wall. Limestone steps up to front door. Roughcast rendered boundary walls with wrought-iron railings. Single-storey outbuildings to rear.
