What is recorded here
Built, probably c. 1600-1610, by Sir Charles Coote. His son, Sir Charles, was besieged here by Con O'Rourke in 1641 and again in 1643 by John Burke, both of whom failed to capture it. The original house was burned in 1798, being replaced by a farmhouse which is still occupied. It is situated on a rise overlooking the NW-SE Boyle river, c. 150m to the SW. The remains consist of the square bawn (RO007-015002-). A fragment of the original house consisting of a chimney stack straddles the line of the S bawn wall, where the original entrance to the bawn was probably located. (Grose 1791, 82-4; D'Alton 1845, 118-9)
