Ireland Examiner view: Preserving our historic landmarks

Annes Grove House to be restored and rejuvenated

Annes Grove House Castletownroche Co, Cork

There may not be one in every townland but, if this old term may be used, there is probably one in every barony in Ireland. 

They may be sometimes no more than brambles shrouding crumbling walls, a patch of high ground where foundations were long ago laid out. Sometimes a chapel ruin, a family graveyard, or an out-of-place yew tree.
