What is recorded here

Situated c. 50m NE of a large possible motte (WI013-026----). The present house, completed in 1784 by Thomas Cooley for Robert Cuningham, stands on the site of a large Mansion House' built by the Kennedys and destroyed during the Williamite War. There is no visible trace of the earlier building (Bence-Jones 1978, 215). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
