Description At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Edward Orpen was leasing this property from the Landsdowne estate when it was valued at £3. Lewis mentions it as the occasional residence of H. Orpen in 1837. In the 1770s it was noted by Taylor and Skinner but no proprietor is given. Bary notes that this property was originally in the possession of the Taylor estate but was was taken over by the Orpens in the early eighteenth century. It passed through marriage to the Palmer family. It was demolished in the twentieth century
