What is recorded here
No surface remains of house, which in any case was built 1810, except for traces of foundation. This was supposedly built on the site of an old house of the O'Dempsey's which according to Bence-Jones was remodelled in the 19th century (Bence-Jones 1978, 28). Described the house as consisting of 2 principal fronts, one of them low and nearly 200 feet in length, with battlements and pointed doors and windows, the other front higher and with a square tower. Old arch opposite hall door, surviving from the O'Dempsey house. Could the square tower be the remains of O'Dempsey's medieval Castle?
