Castle type building depicted on the 1654-9 Down Survey map of Piercetown parish (NLI, MS 723-4) which is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Building depicted in 'Deriniskill' on 1654-9 Down Survey map of Rathconrath barony (NLI, MS 723-4). The terrier of the Down Survey parish map of Piercetown recorded that improvements 'on Clunygrosse & Derriniskill on each a House' (ibid.) The referenc to the recent improvements would suggest that this building may have been built as a fortified house in the early 17th century.
