What is recorded here
I picture the House in Knockpatrick during a spell of hard rain, with someone trying to patch a leak while the children counted the drops in a basin. They announced each successful patch just before the dripping started somewhere else.
A complete but ruined small seventeenth century house with a T-shaped plan, gable ends and chimney stacks (FF 1976, 81-2). There are traces of garden walls around the house.
