Recorded monuments

• OF042-002 House - fortified house
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in undulating countryside. Poorly preserved remains of a three storey rectangular block (ext. dims. 20.7m N-S; wall T 1.3m) with only the W half surviving intact with the remains of two circular flanking towers (ext. dims 4.8m; wall T 0.9m) at the NW and SW angles which were connected by the W wall of the central block. The towers are three storeys high and were accessed from the central block. All the floors of the towers were carried on wooden beams and the original wooden lintels above the doors still survive. The external walls of the tower facing away from the building are peppered with musket loops at all levels. Originally there were four flanking towers connected to a rectangular central block. The musket loops and plan of this building would indicate a late 16th/17th-century date probably associated with the 1619 plantation.
