On wooded elevated ground on the SE outskirts of Killarney. The ruins of an extensive castellated house built of random rubble, rendered and painted to resemble ashlar. It has a complex ground plan with numerous projecting towers. The main doorway is flanked by towers in the N wall. The large window opes have mullions and tracery and hood-moulding. The house was built by John Coltsman between 1809 and 1815 (Bary 1994, 115). The enclosed farmyard is c. 400m to the SE and an ornamental tower (KE066-136----) is c. 300m to the NW.
