The National Monuments Service's description
An ongoing conservation programme at Jigginstown House (KD019-033001-) was informed by a detailed survey of the building and some archaeological excavation (Licence nos. 01E1109 and 02E1603: www.excavations.ie). A midden was found and contained window glass and kitchen waste, and suggested that the house was occupied before construction was complete.
