The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Gillman (1893, 178) as 'a fortified manor-house built by the head of an important branch of the Muskerry MacCarthys, Teige of Aglish...now a bare patch of meadow'. Area now flooded due to Lee Valley Hydro-electric Scheme. Healy (1988, 14) is doubtful that Mac Carthys ever built here and suggests it was house built by Kingstons in 18th century.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
