Mullane's of Brittas

The Mullanes of Brittas were a prominent family in N Cork. They held the land here before the 1640s Confederate and Cromwellian Wars. The old house was demolished in the 20th century but it's location can be gleaned in the farmyard concrete./A fine orchard still survives here and it could be a relatively rare survival. The orchard produces yellow apples in July with lots of apples on each tree./Stories are told of a plum tree in this area which grew up after other trees were felled in a massive storm (perhaps 1839?).
