What is recorded here

Westport Demesne in Murrisk By. holds a settlement cluster where several buildings or rooms once formed one living place. The cluster may have served as a small neighbourhood, workyard or residence within the wider demesne. People may have lived, worked or gathered there before the buildings disappeared or changed beyond recognition. The exact layout and purpose remain unknown because no detailed description has survived.
