Outbuildings include the remains of a water mill (above), which used to sit alongside the River Clare but is now about twenty feet north of it. The “raised spot” which is designated ‘site of garderobes’ in the ground plan (top), used to be a small cottage and gardens, “made for pious meditation... the river murmured pleasingly near the garden in front.” (Walks Through Ireland by John Bernard Trotter, 1817)
