Mote Park House

[2] The house was finally demolished in 1961 while as of 2023 only the lion gates and lodges and some other ancillary buildings remain.

[3] Mote Castle was originally constructed on the lands by George Crofton in the 1620s as both a defensive structure and dwelling.

[4] It is likely that it was constructed on the site of a pre-existing O'Kelly tower which was used to protect an important crossing point on the Hind River near Derrydonnell Bridge.

The house was enlarged to a design by Richard Morrison around 1816 with an additional storey and portico added.

[7] At this time the contents were auctioned off and the house was left vacant from that point on until its eventual demolition in 1961.
