Laois (Queens) / Re: Ballyroan - A Four Square Fortress like house
« on: Wednesday 10 August 05 00:29 BST (UK)  »
Dear Jack

Thank you for your reply. We have since learned that a relative of my husband
visited Ballyroan about 15 years or more ago, he has since died but on his visit he saw that the date on  the stone archway was actually in a farmyard and part of a relic of
a former house with pigs and cattle running around it. This may be a clue or jog
someones memory, it has also been mentioned that it may have been called
'Mountrath' !

Laois (Queens) / Ballyroan - A Four Square Fortress like house

Can anyone advise if this property is still standing?
Built by Captain James Hodgkins (or Hodgins)  we understand it was used
as a Farmhouse- The date above the doorway is badly weathered but the figure 16.... used to be readable about 15 years ago. We would dearly love to find the property
in Ballyroan.
