What is recorded here

A castle comprising a stone house and a bawn of sods with four flankers was erected here in the second decade of the 17th century. Parts of this appear to have been incorporated into a modern house which now occupies the site. An earlier account (Davies 1948a, 112) described what must have been a flanker at the SE corner of the bawn — a two-storey strong structure with cross-vaulting over the upper floor. A tunnel (dims 1.8m x 1.2m) roofed with slabs apparently ran outside the bawn enclosure in a northerly direction. Date of upload: 15 April, 2016
