What is recorded here

By 1621 Sir Francis Annesley had built a house (WX022-019----) with a court or bawn (Loeber and Stouthamer-Loeber 1987, 189-90). Only one D-shaped mural tower (int. dims. 2.9m N-S; 1.4m E-W) from the E side of the bawn survives (H 3.5) with walls of roughly coursed stone (T 1m). The tower is now open-backed, but it may have had an entrance (Wth 1.5m) at W to the ground floor that has five lights (Wth 7-11cm; H 32cm). There was at least one light on the first floor.
