According to Adams (1881, 492) there was an extensive brick mansion here, the property of Sir James Ware (1594-1666), noted scholar, antiquarian and Auditor-General of Ireland. The Civil Survey (1654-6) describes Ware's Meakstown holdings in some detail: 'There is upon ye premises a dwelling house of Brick with other office houses therto belonging-as a barne & a stable. Also an orchard and Garden Plott Valu'd by ye Jury at 300 li'. Together with 140 acres of land, the Meakstown house constituted the most valuable of Ware's Dublin properties, granted to him in 1638 (Simington 1945, 202).
