Description | Wilson, writing in 176, refers to the accidental burning of the seat of the Earls of Barrymore. "The mansion house, with the furniture and a valuable collection of pictures, were entirely destroyed by an accidental fire". Some ruins remain at the site. A dower house, built by the Barry family towards the end of the 18th century, is still extant and known as Berryhill. . |
