Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Hiberno-English Шаблон:Infobox building Castle Harrison, formerly Castle Dodd,[1] was a great house close to Ballyhea and Charleville, in north County Cork, Ireland. The seat of the Harrison family for some time, the house was demolished in the 1950s.

History

A "Castle Dodd" (or Dod), of the Fitzgerald family,[2] appears on a 1736 map of north County Cork.[3] Samuel Lewis' Topographical Dictionary Ireland suggests that Castle Harrison was developed from or on the site of this earlier structure, and by 1837 was occupied by a man named Standish Harrison.[3]

By the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association Survey noted that Castle Harrison was the residence of a Mrs. Harrison, widow of a General Harrison. This survey provides a description of the great hall which contained artefacts unearthed on the estate during the construction of a nearby railway line. Castle Harrison was inherited by five sisters in 1951 and the estate sold to the Irish Land Commission in 1956. The house was subsequently demolished.[3][4]

Harrison family

The Harrison's posted a parchment at the entrance to Castle Harrison which described the Harrison lineage:[5] The original parchment is in the possession of Jeffrey Standish Harrison, Sr. of Woodinville, Wa.
