What is recorded here

On the N shore of Garadice Lough. A grant of almost 1,000 acres at Garadice was made to Nicholas Pynnar in 1661-2 (Mac an Ghalloglaigh 1971, 251). A T-shaped house has a three-bay, two-storey over basement N-facing front and a three-bay, two-storey return at the S. It is still occupied, and is possibly of late 17th- or early 18th-century date. Archaeological testing (99E0332) uncovered the foundations of a W wing which had been removed in the early 20th century (Murphy 2000). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
