• CO044-038002 Country house
  Description

  Two-storey L-shaped house; gable-ended with brick chimneys; concave limestone cornice stopping just short of gable ends. Entrance front (W) of 7 bays (2 bays blocked). Vertical half-door with rectangular fanlight; sash windows with glazing bars; shallow reveals. Central hipped stairway projection to rear. Stripping of plaster after recent fire (Cork Examiner 23/7/1991) revealed changes in proportions of windows in W elevation (see also Bence-Jones 1988, 280); blocked long slender windows on N gable and stairwell extension. Farm buildings and walled garden to N. Outbuildings to S. Circular corn stands (max. diam. c. 3m; H 1m), with concave walls, survive adjacent to outbuildings. House seems closely comparable with part of Ballymaloe House (see 5562) in its L shape and type of cornice and might similarly date to late 17th century; built inside fortified bawn (5588) which probably dates to earlier part of that century.

  Description

  Adjacent to Ballinterry House (5986); 1842 OS 6-inch map shows four towers standing at corners of large, roughly square enclosure (distance between towers c. 50m), with house in centre; only ivy-clad tower to NW of house now stands. This is circular in plan (int. diam. 3.5m); door opes to N and SE have recent surrounds, latter may be in original position; six lintelled gun loops, evenly spaced, set around wall. Featureless 1st floor largely rebuilt. Walls running out from this tower, on line of bawn enclosure, not keyed in and appear to be later than tower. Tower at SW corner reduced to low overgrown mounds of rubble; no surface indication of other two towers. Surviving tower early 17th-century in appearance, probably surrounding fortified house replaced by present house in late 17th century. Not listed by Healy (1988); nothing of its earlier history appears to be known. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
