What is recorded here

Marked 'site of' on all editions of OS 6-inch map. Two-storey, gabled farm building (11.8m x 7m) of 19th-century appearance with projecting chimney stack (Wth 3.1m; projecting 1.15m at ground level) on S gable; stack probably of 17th-century date. Fireplace (Wth 1.5m; D1.2m), with iron crane, covered by wooden lintel; stack projects inside (0.4m) at 1st-floor level. Outside stack has 'bottle-shaped' profile, topped by two brick courses. Below present roof level two 'flashing' stones project from either side of stack, possibly indicating earlier roofline. Built by Meade family (Healy 1988, 276). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
