House

In pasture, on the former deer park on the demesne of Cahir Guillamore House (LI031-041019-)and 30m E of the avenue to Cahir Guillamore. Deserted medieval settlement (LI031-041009-) lies 50m to W and ringfort (LI031-041011-) 120m to SW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Ó Ríordáin and Hunt (1942, 43) as a possible medieval house to the east of site 6(LI031-041011-). Ó Ríordáin and Hunt (ibid) described it as follows: ‘We suspect but are not so sure of, the existence of houses in other parts of the site, for instance east of B (LI031-041017-) and on the other side of the avenue east of 6 (LI031-041011-). The houses show as rectangular structures with low walls, the facing stones appearing through the turf in places. Generally the walls and the collapsed material from them appear as grass-covered banks’. Faint cropmarks visible on OSi orthoimage taken between 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 20/09/2020 may be the remains of the medieval house located immediately N of a line of modern dwelling houses.
