The National Monuments Service's description
The Down Survey (1655-6) map shows a dwelling at Buzzardstown near Buzzardstown House. In the second half of the 18th century the family of Flood owned Buzzardstown House-on a winter’s night in 1761 it is recorded that the gable-end of Mr Flood’s house at Mulhuddart suddenly gave way, whereby Mrs Flood and her daughter were killed. Test excavation (Licence no. 06E0184) was undertaken at the site of Buzzardstown House but archaeological remains were not located.
