Place & story
A landscape read from old maps
Billy Quinn’s June 2016 cultural heritage assessment examined early Ordnance Survey mapping of the approaches to Cobh. In Ballynoe, it identified small demesnes and roadside houses along the coastal route. Ballynoe House overlooked the channel and was still standing when the report was prepared. The account places the house among several smaller properties, showing that this part of Great Island’s shoreline contained a dispersed residential landscape beyond the town centre. [2]
