- CO086-062 House - 16th/17th century
Description
The 1842 OS 6-inch map marks the 'site of Old Court' on the S side of a public road. This location is now occupied by domestic buildings none of which appear to predate the 19th century. According to Healy (1988, 85), 'Old Court' refers to Shannon Court, a house built by the Earl of Shannon in the 17th century, which was described in the middle of the 18th century as 'a neat house, and fine park, both entirely gone to ruin' (Smith 1750, vol. 2, 209). This house probably stood on the site of the Cogan castle of Ballinrea (pers. comm. D. Ó Murchadha). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
