What is recorded here
A large stone gateway, formerly located in front of the 17th-century fortified house at Leamaneh North (CL016-032002-) possibly on the line of a wall defining a courtyard and moved to Dromoland gardens in 1907. The gateway has a round arch with a stepped hood-moulding under which are two coats of arms. One is of Conor O'Brien, 1643, the other those of his son Sir Donat O'Brien about 1690. Under them in worn letters are the words 'This was built in the year of our Lord 1643 by Conor O'Brien and by Mary ni Mahon, wife of the said Connor.' (Westropp 1900, 404).
