Recorded monuments

• RO032-054 House - 17th/18th century
  Description

  Traditionally associated with the Lynch family who were merchants from Galway city, and possibly built c. 1710 (Timoney 1996, 12). Situated on a shelf of a S-facing slope. This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 19.7m N-S; 9.35m E-W) of two storeys and attic with good quoins, but only the N and S gables with large chimney-stacks survive complete, and fragments of the other walls (T 0.7m). The doorway at the centre of the E wall is in a slight two-storey projection (dims 4.4m x 0.9m) with a large round-headed window over. There are gun-loops in the N and S walls of the door projection. The ground floor had a central E-W corridor, and four rooms which had brick firplaces in the internal angles with the gables. The S chimney stack is completed in brick. One room has a slop-stone. Two-storey wings which do not communicate directly with the original house were added to the N and S, but these have largely been removed. (Craig 1982, 134) See the attached image taken from the NE.
