The National Monuments Service's description
In the grounds of Upton House (CO096-036----), near Inishannon. The keystone of a joggel arched mantlepiece inscribed "AD 1596 DONALDUS CARTI ET MARGARETA GERALD FECERUNT" (which Coakley (1920, 23) translates as 'Donal McCarthy and Margaret Fitzgerald made (this tower) AD 1596'). Hawkes (1951, 51) recorded that this stone was moved from Kilbrittain Castle (CO124-025001-) to Upton house.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
