The National Monuments Service's description
The Down Survey (1655-6) map shows a dwelling near where Harristown House was located. Described in the Civil survey (1654-6) as the 'ruins of old walls of stone' (Simington 1945, 210). Harristown House probably occupied the site. Now the site is part of the runway at Dublin Airport. Not visible at ground level.
