What is recorded here

Detached three-bay three-storey former country house, c. 1790, with additions dating to 1833. Now in a ruinous state. Formerly with a central bay breakfront with single-storey Roman Ionic portico and a curved bow at side of house. Square-profile dressed limestone entrance piers with decorative carved caps and double-leaf wrought-iron gate.
Rockbarton House was formely the seat of Lord Guillamore. Although now a ruin, it was a significant house in the area with work carried out in 1833 by the well known architect James Pain. The survival of the attendant structures such as the outbuildings and the lodges is significant. As a group, they are important structures within the architectural heritage of County Limerick.
