What is recorded here

To the N of a road, close to the SE shore of Muckross Lake. The site of a cottage which was enlarged by the Herbert Family of Muckross House c. 1800 to create a substantial house (Bary 1994, 234). The 1846 OS 6-inch map depicts a roughly rectangular structure (c. 40m N-S; c. 20m E-W) with numerous angles; L-shaped outbuildings are attached to the S. The 1895 OS 6-inch map depicts a smaller structure (long axis E-W) suggesting that the rear of the building was demolished. An L-shaped two-storey stable block is still extant and inhabited. A one-storey porter's lodge associated with house is c. 250m to the E. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
