What is recorded here
Dressed and decorated stones from a lost tower house or later residence in Newstone, County Meath, still stand embedded in the walls of the present farmhouse. They are not buried or forgotten but visible, reused and living inside an ordinary house. The building has become a container for its own ancestry, carrying the shape of earlier hands through daily life.
Some dressed and decorated stones from the tower house (ME003-017002-) or later house (ME003-017001-) are built into the present farmhouse.
