House in Rathcoole, County Dublin (DU021-078----)

House, 16th/17th century

What is recorded here

In the mid-17th century Rathcoole is said to have contained many goodhouses (Ball 1902-20, 2, 123). The Down Survey (1655-6) map shows dwellings at Rathcoole. The Poitín Stíl reputedly dated to 1649 and maybe one of these buildings. It is a two-storey, three bay building. The roof is hipped and recently thatched with rye.
