The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the S end of a slight S-N valley. Marked as a 'Mansion House (in Ruins)' on the 1840 and 1951 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. It was known locally as the White House, and is thought to have belonged to a branch of a Power family that was dispossessed in the 1650s (OSFM), although the land was owned by a James White of Waterford City in 1640 (Simington 1942, 144).
The house is a rectangular structure (ext. dims. 17.2m E-W; 12.3m) of masonry walls (H 2.8-3m; T 0.7m) with no brick and has at least two tall windows in the N and one in the W walls. The house is in the NW angle of a rectangular walled garden (int. dims. 50.3m E-W; 32.8m N-S) that has a doorway (Wth 0.8m) in the S wall, although there are other gaps. It is probably 18th century in date. A roadway (WA017-050005-), which does not survive, led N to Kilbride church (WA017-050001-), c. 130m distant.
