The precise location of a 16th/17th century house in the townland of Singland has not been located. The building was located to the N of Ireton's Fort (LI005-028-/113----) and S of Reboge Castle (LI005-024----). Listed by Lenihan (1866, 749) as 'The Ruined House of Singland' and described as following; 'Neither the father nor grandfathers of the present generation have been able to learn when this house was built. It was evidently standing at the time of the Siege [1691], being exactly delineated in Story's map, published two years after the Siege'. The ruins of a single storey house annotated 'A ruin'd house an Orchard' is depicted on Story's map of the Williamite Siege of Limerick (Westropp 1916).
See attached drawing of house ruins taken from Story's map.
