Visited this one on our Summer Ireland trip in 2022, with @jtza and Alex. I'd seen some old footage of the inside, and it just looked quite cool and different. It was also in a stunning area, so I think the plan was focused on the idyllic camping setting more so than the building. There was a little report on it in Winter last year, I think it got removed during the Great Bubonic Plague of 28DaysLater, so I figured I'd put one up. Rocked up, ignored the cameras because it would take decades for someone to reach the building and found a way in. Realised we had to find somewhere specific to sleep before sunset. Camped on the shore nearby, but my hammock snapped just as I was getting into bed, so I genuinely had the worst night's kip ever, on a bumpy, rocky descent. Therefore, I was up at 5am to see the rest of the structure to be sighted by a confused builder, no surprise after spotting a lonesome, sleep deprived weirdo at 5.30am on the roof. Fun little evening, here are the snaps!

They were clearing the land when we visited.

The main atrium was pretty cool, albeit unfinished.

Becoming a regular occurrence for my reports, but no thanks to @jtza for the photographs I have stolen. Will make it up to you senpai.

Signs of decay that differentiate the manor from any old construction site.

Into the more modern bits that would have been the additions in 2007-8.

That's all. Not much really, but it's historic past makes it worth documenting in my opinion. Plus, besides the sleeping arrangements, it was a pleasant evening. Here is the link to the video we filmed here, showing the entire evening with the camping.
