Description
Transcript of text: - Smith says that in James I's reign (1603-25) the O'Callaghans built a statley house on the foundations of a castle. There was a very large Bawn, flanked by towers, and at the junction of the S.E. walls a Columbarium, now a ruin. In 1600 a poet called O'Daly described a visit to Dromineen in a half joking poem. Windele says that the building is an example of the last phase of castellation, with carved doors, mullions and mantelpieces. After 1641 it was granted to Sir Richard Kyrle and later sold to the Newman family (1686). Dillon Newman restored it in 1694. He died in 1739 and his widow left it. Soldiers were quartered in it and it fell into disrepair. - See Cork Arch. & Hist. Jour. 1897 & 1914, and Grove White's Notes. - Download size (PDF): 208 KB. Image no Vol_06-27.
