• CO017-002 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On rock outcrop, in flat marshy terrain. Rectangular four-storey tower (9.3m E-W; 7.25m N-S) with later house (6.5m E-W; 8.5m N-S) added to E end of S wall; low footings extending c. 3m N from tower, indicate presence of additional former structure. Only W end of tower survives to full height of 4 storeys, with short returns of N wall (2.6m) and S wall (2.15m). Gap (Wth c. 1.75m) in W wall extends vertically from ground level almost to apex of gable, where it is spanned by brick arch; evidently original windows on each floor replaced by wider embrasures with brick jambs, whose sills and lintels subsequently collapsed. Original double-splayed lintelled slit window survives on ground floor at W end of S wall; inserted door in W wall; wall-press at W end of N wall; badly damaged fireplace in NW corner at 2nd-floor level; external tiered cornice at eaves level on N and S walls similar to cornice on W wall of added structure and probably contemporary with it. Added house missing long section of W wall. Ground-floor entrance door at N end of E wall, with wide breach to S. Central fireplace in S wall missing its E side; brick-built bread oven in SE corner. Narrow window at S end of W wall. Rows of narrow, closely spaced joist sockets in E and W walls show level of wooden floors. Blocked window in E wall at 1st-floor level; traces of fireplace at E end of S wall, window at W end; window in S gable on each side of fireplace at attic level. At S end of E wall of tower house, near junction with later house, curved recess in wall at ground level with brick inclusions seems to be inserted feature, possibly remains of circular stairs tower. Castle of the Stapletons, passed to Percival in 17th century and subsequently to Freeman (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 1, 96). Shown as house on Down Survey (1655-6) (1655-6) barony map.
