Place & story
Portland House and grounds
Portland House dates from around 1820 and stands on rising ground overlooking the Shannon. Its six-bay front has projecting ends, with a bowed bay on the southern side. The architectural inventory records dressed limestone around the openings and along the parapet. A sunken boundary, or ha-ha, lies south of the house, with stone coping and steps. Remains of a walled garden and an outbuilding lie to the northwest. [2]
