  Description

  Listed in both the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified as 'Earthworks(s)' and 'Mill Race' respectively. In undulating pasture, on a gentle NE-facing slope near the SW bank of a stream. The foundations of a wedge-shaped structure (16m NE-SW; 10m SE-NW at NE end; 6m at SW end) are evident as low grass-covered earth and stone banks (Wth 1.8m; ext. H 1.1m; int. H 0.9m). A silted up millrace (Wth 1.8m; D 0.5m) can be traced for c. 300m to NW. The millrace runs around the SW end of the mill curving around a central low island (4m x 3m) at the S corner and then NE along the SE side of the mill. The tailrace runs NE for a short distance where it re-enters the small stream. Streamstown House (SL032-085----) is c. 100m to S. This is probably post-1700 AD in date.

• SL032-085 House - 16th/17th century
  Description

  In gently undulating pasture, on the S side of a stream. The remains of a rectangular house (ext: 13.29m NE-SW; 6.18m NW-SE) of which only the SW gable now stands above basement level. This shows the house had two storeys with an attic and a basement. It is of random rubble limestone construction (wall T 0.64m). The gable survives to full height, with very short returns (L c. 2m) of the NW and SE sidewalls. There is a wide internally projecting (Wth 4.9m) chimney stack rising the full height of the gable, narrowing above roof-level to a plain rectangular stack. At each floor level is a pair of brick-arched fireplaces. Also at each level is a window ope either side of the stack. The basement wall (ext: 13.29m NE-SW) on the SE side survives and has three blocked window opes. The foundations of the NW wall are evident. The interior is filled with mounds of grass-covered rubble and the NE end is quarried out. The walls of a three-storey lean-to structure stand immediately outside the SW gable. The fragmentary remains of farm buildings and the foundations of a circular structure (int. diam. 2m) lie immediately to the NE. A wide causeway bridge (Wth 6m), with a small stone arch, crosses the stream a short distance to the NE. There is also a narrow segmental-arched footbridge (Wth 0.85m) upstream to NW. According to local information, the house is known as 'Streamstown Castle'. It is shown as an inhabited house, named 'Streamstown Ho.' and surrounded by a small demesne, on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. The surviving remains are late-17th/early-18th century in appearance. A rath (SL032-086----) lies c. 90m to SSE and the site of a mill (SL032-084----) c. 100m to N.
