What is recorded here
On a slight S-facing slope. Denis O'Conor received a partial return of O'Conor lands in 1720 and built a house (RO015-048001-) here in 1727 which became the home of his son Charles O'Conor, the antiquarian. The house is at the NW angle of a walled courtyard or bawn (dims 34m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by masonry walls (T 0.7m; max. H 3m), which does not appear to be an ancient structure.
