Description In 1837 Lewis describes the work done at Myshell by Dr Barter “whose demesne of 200 acres, formerly an unprofitable waste, has, since 1826, been reclaimed and brought into a state of high cultivation.” The house valued at £36 was occupied by Thomas Kenyon at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held from Henry Lindsey. In the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it was "formerly a Hydro before the enterprise transferred to St. Ann’s in Blarney". The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests that the current house incorporates portions of the original.
