What is recorded here

Dunboe House stands in County Derry as a Georgian castle built around 1774 by Michael Shanahan. Its south face presents a round-arch doorway, pilasters and scrolled brackets, while the rear rises into a full-height stair bay with a hipped roof. The house still keeps its original timber sashes, tooled-stone sills and octagonal clay chimney pots, though later outbuildings and a west return widened the complex. It remains a private house set in rural farmland, not a derelict monument, and its rooms may have held clergy, tenants or neighbours whose names no longer appear on the stone.
