  Marked as a slight D-shaped feature (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 25m N-S) open to the N on the 1837 ed. and as an oval enclosure (ext. dims c. 60m E-W; c. 40m N-S) on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Situated on an undulating landscape. This is a D-shaped overgrown area (dims 26.6m NNE-SSW; c. 20m WNW-SSE) defined by a scarp (H 1.35m) S-SW and an earth and stone spread (Wth 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext.

• RO048-143 House - 17th/18th century
  Description

  Land at Carrowkerran and Skeanamuck was owned by Laughlin McKeogh and his wife Margaret Fallon in 1654-58, which became the core of the Keoghville estate. Their son Edmond may have built this house in the late 17th or early 18th century (Moore 1978, 57). Christopher Jones had owned 180 acres at Sheaghnamuc and Corkip, most of it bog, in 1641, and Margaret Fallon is recorded as one of the owners in the 1660s. She also owned 99 acres at Carrowkryne, which had been owned by William Mc Loughlyn Keogh in 1641. (Simington 1949, 104) Situated on an undulating landscape with lower marshy ground nearby. It is a rectangular seven bay structure of two storeys and attic (int. dims 25m E-W; 6.6m N-S) surviving complete, except most of the N wall (Wth 0.65m) and parts of the upper level of the S wall. There are three wide doorways on the ground floor in the S wall, the centre one of which led to a return that was a later addition, but is now removed. There are four wide windows on the ground floor in the S wall that had wooden lintels, but there is no brick anywhere in the structure. There is no evidence of a stairs or of fireplaces, although there is a false chimney stack on the E gable. A coach house with accommodation overhead partly survives N of the house. It is probably early 18th century in date, and is thought locally to have been replaced by Keoghville Hse., which has a datestone of 1789, c. 220m to the NW.

There is no evidence of an original entrance, and a NW-SE field wall crosses the interior. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
