Description
Lands were granted to Sir Edward Fisher in 1612 as the manor of Chichester, but it was called Fisherstown in 1618. By this time a brick castle with two square flankers, a court or bawn with square flankers and a walled garden '110 feet by 72 feet' had been built. It passed by marriage to Sir Edward Chichester but it was described as 'a decayed Manor House' at Prospect in the Civil Survey (1654-56) (Simington 1953, 35-6). The estate amounted to 1650 acres that was probably the entirety of Kiltennell parish. The location of the manor house at Prospect is generally know, but there are no visible features at ground level. (Loeber and Stouthamer-Loeber 1987, 196–7) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 16 March, 2012
