The National Monuments Service's description
In 1643 when a party of Royalists under Sir Charles Vavasour was scouring the coutryside east of the Comeragh and Monavullagh mountains, a sub-group of 40 musketeers under the command of a man called Broughton took Woodhouse from John Fitzgerald (Anon 1906, 76). The house is described as in ruins in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1942, 71). The location is not known exactly, but it may have been on the site of the 18th century Woodstown House.
