Bence-Jones writes of the cottage: “A C19 house of random ashlar consisting of a 2 storey centre with pointed windows, flanked by single-storey gabled wings; overlooking the mouth of the Shannon, close to the ruins of an old castle of the MacMahons which was captured by the O’Briens of Thomond and afterwards passed to the Burton family. Now rebuilt, but the old C18 pink brick garden walls still survive.“
