The National Monuments Service's description
A test excavation by Kenneth Wiggins (00E0342) ‘was carried out on 24 May 2000 along the southern side of the Ballygowan Spring Water plant, where a large new extension was proposed. Four cuttings were opened by mechanical excavator. These did not reveal any archaeological material. The development proceeded, and all ground disturbance was monitored, between 12 June and 12 July 2000. No archaeological features were revealed, although a well was discovered, which would have been associated with Cullenagh House (now demolished), which may have been built at the end of the 17th century.’ The above description is posted on the web at the following internet address: http://www.excavations.ie/ (accessed 24 August 2012).
This is the record for the 17th century house.
