What is recorded here

Rathcline, 1667: George Lane rebuilt the gate, commissioned a plaque in his own arms, and set it above the arch for every cart and coward to read. By 1973 the plaque lay on the gatehouse floor, a brass shoulder shrugging at the rain. By now it has vanished entirely, leaving the arch empty and the story slightly harder to prove.

Associated with the fortified house (LF017-009003-). An armorial plaque bearing the family coat of arms of Sir George Lane and dated 1667 was formerly located above the archway of the S gatehouse of the bawn (LF017-009001-). It commemorated the refurbishment of the house and the construction of the new gateway and was in situ in 1944 (ITA Survey). In 1973 (SMR file) it was recorded as lying on the ground inside the gatehouse. It is no longer evident at this location. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 13 June 2013
