Place & story
Frederick William Mullins’s residence
Samuel Lewis described Beaufort House in 1837 as the residence of Frederick William Mullins, standing on the site of Short Castle. He listed it separately from nearby Dunloe Castle, occupied by D. Mahony, and Whitefield, associated with McGillycuddy of the Reeks. This contemporary account establishes Beaufort House’s identity within the parish landscape; it does not date the surviving building or establish how much earlier castle masonry remains within it.
