The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of 17th century house on the SE side of the historic town of Caherconlish has not been identified. The Urban Survey of Limerick recorded the following; 'Lynch (1896, 353) notes the ruins of a house in Parkaphrince to the south-east of the town where King William is said to have slept. To the north of this an old roadway (LI014-080----) known as King William’s road is shown on the O.S.map' (Bradley et. al. 1989, 93). This may be the same house as Boskill House (LI014-082----) and therefore a duplicate reference (OSNB).
