The National Monuments Service's description
In Outrath townland O'Kelly (1969, 186) describes, 'A medieval dwelling in ruins north of the churchyard is believed to have been a Rothe House'. The ruinous building may have been part of the farm complex depicted on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map immediately N of the medieval church (KK023-014001-) and graveyard (KK023-014002-) at Outrath, but which no longer survives at ground level.
