  Description

  Situated in pasture on a gentle S-facing slope c. 40m from the shore of Lough Bofin, which is on the River Shannon. Built by the Scottish family of Nesbitt c. 1640, it was captured, and probably burnt, during the Confederate wars. It might have been abandoned then as the Nesbitts made Derrycarne, about 3km to the NW on the River Shannon, their home until the last of the family died without heirs in 1854. The ruins as depicted by Francis Grose c. 1820 consist of two separate walls, each probably a gable of a two-storey house with an attic. Each wall has a large chimney stack, and one has a corner-turret supported on corbels in the Scottish style (Stalley 1991, 155-7). The remains have been removed, and no feature is visible at ground level in pasture. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
