The National Monuments Service's description

There is a large multi-gabled dwelling marked on the Down Survey (1655-6) map compiled. The Civil Survey (1654-6) mentions a 'stone house, slated' (Simington 1945, 246). Possibly incorporated into the make-up of the later Corduff House. Test excavation and monitoring (Licence no. 05E0360) were undertaken in advance of the construction of a sports hall. The vestiges of eight rooms representing the foundation level of the later house, part of a tiled area from the ground floor and remnants of a pond 20m north of the house location were excavated (Carroll, 2006).
