Held in fee by Robert French at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £40. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of Acheson French. In 1938 it was bequeathed by Kathleen French to the State as a home for artists, subsequently demolished and now only the original tower remains. A mausoleum, modelled on the tower house and constructed at the end of the nineteenth century, is located in the adjacent woodland. |
