Appraisal
This building, erected as a summer house by John Obins Woodhouse, a Dublin solicitor in the mid-nineteenth century, presents an evocative and romantic ruin in dramatic mountainous landscape on north bank of Sruthán Mhín na gCopóg [Meennagoppoge Burn] as it flows into the east end of Loch Alltáin [Altan Lough]
