What is recorded here

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Shown as standing on island in River Barrow on Down Survey (1655-6) map. Built by St Leger family. Subsequently passed to Butler family before passing to Bests. Probably stood on or close to farm buildings c. 200m W of church (CW002-002----). Large quantities of stone removed from here to the Larchfield estate about 20 years ago. Present walls are of later date.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
