West Cork Farmyard and buildings from c 1740.
One of the family ancestors had a will probated in 1804 which by a miracle was copied by Welply before its descruction in 1922. On this basis it may be possible to suggest that the yard and some if not all of the building go back to 1740. The original farmhouse is included it was originally thatched. The family built a new farmouse probably after c 1880 not shown.
The bullding are largerly build with quarried sandstone with the odd fiels stone used. Many of the wall are directly built ont the ground reck. The main hosies are recessed into the hill.
It shares many features of the Daly homestead in Lisheenacreagh a few miles away as the crow flies.
