Place & story
Quarry stone used indoors
Limestone from quarries on the lands of Kilshanna was used for mantelpieces at Mitchelstown Castle, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 Brigown account. Some of the stone could take a high polish. His description connects a local raw material with the fittings of the Earl of Kingston’s mansion. The same parish account records the opening of a county-funded road between Mitchelstown and Lismore in 1835. [2]
