| Description |
A castle and manor existed at Drumboe since the early seventeenth century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Drumboe was the seat of Sir Edward Hayes, when it was valued at £60. It remained in the ownership of the Hayes family until the early twentieth century. In 1906 it was the property of Sir E.H. Hayes and valued at £33. It and the demesne were acquired by the Forestry service in the 1940s. The ruins of the estate buildings are still visible in the extensive woodlands and amenity areas at the site. |
