On a level landscape c. 220m SSW of Strokestown House (RO029-025002*) and within the demesne. This was built by Nicholas Mahon c. 1667 (Hayward 1955, 204). It is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 13.4m E-W; 7.95m N-S) constructed of masonry walls which are almost complete (H 2.7m; T 0.8m) and have roughly dressed quoins. There is an inserted twin-light pointed window (H 2.3m; Wth 0.9m) with chamfered surrounds in the E gable. The locked door, flanked by two plain shields, is at the W end of the S wall, and the interior contains a large hexagonal tomb or mausoleum, and a wall memorial (RO029-024002-) against the N end of the E wall. This is the tomb of Nicholas Mahon and his wife Magdalene (nee French) who died in 1680 and 1683 respectively, according to the inscription.
