The National Monuments Service's description

On W-facing slope, c. 200m W of Castle (14345) and steep-sided wooded glen of Araglin River. Burnt in 1921 (Glin et al. 1988, 48) and now completely demolished, though ranges of stone-built farm buildings and gatelodge (with date stone of '1899') survive. Described as a 'late seventeenth-century or early eighteenth-century' house (ibid.), with 'an irregular structure consisting of several gable-ended ranges, with C19 eaved roofs; and a 2 storey projecting gabled porch' (Bence-Jones 1978, 64- photograph there taken from SW). Associated farm buildings (14945) c. 1.5km to SE.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
