Geocache Description:


The Hermitage lies near here - One of Glanmire's grander proprieties - and the whole area is known by this name.

In the forest beyond the house there is the remains of a sweathouse

Description: Built into natural slope on steep overgrown N bank of Butlerstown river. Mentioned by Power (1923, 204) as 'clochán-like structure, now very decayed....it was roofed on the beehive principal and was furnished with fireplace and chimney'. Remains of circular stone-built structure (int. H 1.6m; diam. 3.3m; wall thickness 0.63m); lintelled fireplace in W wall; break in wall to SE may be entrance. Only indication of corbelling is short section to N comprised of two courses of oversailing masonry.

The house itself dates from 1800 - 1820.
