| Description |
The home of a branch of the Swete family from the early 18th century, occupied by Samuel Swete in 1814 and by B. Swete in 1837. Valued at £35 at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held by Benjamin Swete in fee. The house is described as the family residence in the sale rental of 1877 but was held on a short term lease by Frederick Theodore Courtis. It was in ruins by the 1940s as the Irish Tourist Association Survey reported that portion of the ruins were visible on the farm of Mr. Cashman. It also referred to an attack on the house by the Whiteboys in the 1820s which has resulted in several of them being killed. |
