Wardenstown	Wardenstown is a five-bay two-storey early 18th century country house, built c.1810 possibly incorporating the fabric of an earlier house. The house is believed to have been three-storey high when built but was later reduced in height following a fire (boi). The Berry family lived at Wardenstown in the early 18th century. The Wardenstown Papers record that the estate was later acquired by the Vandeleur family from Kilrush, Co Clare through a connection with the Knight of Kerry (PRONI D3549/F). It is probable that the Vandeleurs built the present house. In 1814 George Webb lived at Wardenstown and in 1837 T M Webb. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Capt Crofton Thomas Vandeleur occupied the house valued at £20 and held from the Knight of Kerry and other Fitzgerald family members. Capt Crofton T.
