What is recorded here
Errew Cottage on the Lough Rynn estate wears the carved letters ‘MC’, possibly left by its mason. Two initials and no explanation: a man confident the stonework would speak for itself, but taking no chances with the spelling.
Detached three-bay single-storey estate worker's house with attic, built c.1850, with projecting central gable-fronted porch and triple-pile extension to rear. Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystacks and decorative timber bargeboards to gable ends and porch. Random coursed stone walls with cut stone quoins. Brick surrounds to window openings with stone sills and timber sash windows. Timber lintel to entrance with timber battened door, sidelights and stone steps. Inscription bearing letters 'MC' to house. Stone outbuildings to west. Cottage set in own mature grounds off driveway to Lough Rynn House.
This ornately-designed estate worker's house, situated within the unspoilt scenic grounds of Lough Rynn estate, is one of many finely-built structures associated with the estate. The inscription was possibly carved by the mason.
