The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) survey of South County Dublin, conducted by my Department in 2002, recognises this site as the remains of a former medieval tower and country house and as a structure of regional significance. This property is owned by South Dublin County Council and has been included by them since 1998 in their Record of Protected Structures the preservation of which is supported by the development plan. Under Section 58 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 it is the responsibility of the owners of a protected structure to ensure that it is protected from endangerment. My Department's Architectural and Archaeological services are available to assist South Dublin County Council in the conservation of this site.
