What is recorded here

Towards the E end of Gowran, on the N side of Main Street. A building annotated, ‘The Forge’ is indicated at this location on White’s map of Gowran, 1710/11. Though the map is early 18th century in date, it is likely that the forge dated to, at least, the 17th century. A two-storey four-bay house with three chimneys appears to occupy the location of the forge.
