What is recorded here

Demolished in 1960. It was formerly situated on a prominent gravel hillock off Tymon Lane. This was a small, square 15th-century tower house attached to the prebend of St Patrick's Cathedral. It is well illustrated in a drawing by Beranger dated 1763 (Harbison 1998, 44-45). It had two diagonally opposed corner towers, one containing a stair tower. The entrance was placed unusually in the SW stair tower and defended by machicolation. It rose to three storeys with a vaulted basement and battlements (Johnson 1988, 557-72).
