The National Monuments Service's description
In the farmyard to the S of Cahermone Castle (CO076-027001-) an inscribed arch stone from a door of the castle is preserved, with the inscription 'I.E.G. 1579'; these are the initials of John Fitz-Edmond Fitzgerald, who may have renovated the existing house at that date (Coleman 1915, 165-7).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
