Place & story
Fields and building materials
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account places Ishartmon beside Tacumshane Lake and notes the introduction of green crops. Marl found in the parish was used as manure, while building stone was also available. At Butlerstown he distinguished an older square castle tower, which he described as seventy-five feet high and well preserved, from the adjoining modern mansion. His description records both agricultural changes and the continued presence of older masonry. [2]
