Borris House


         This  “big  house”  is
         unique  in  that  it  is  still
         owned  by  the  descend-
         ants of the MacMurrough
         -Kavanagh  chiefs.  It  has
         already been described in
         Ireland’s  Ancient  East
         initiative.

         Not only is the notion of
