What is recorded here

The Anglo-Norman masonry castle (KD008-001002-) was extended and incorporated into a large late-16th/17th century fortified house in the Jacobean style, with a base batter on the W, high chimney stacks and gables, and large transomed windows with hood mouldings. The upper floors of wood were carried on large granite corbels, most of which have fallen out. The site of the main entrance is not identifiable, although there was an entrance on the S-front, onto which an avenue opens, leading to the summit of Carbury Hill. The building is overgrown, with much collapsed rubble masking the interior. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
