One of the earliest illustrations of Dromana House. Philip Luckombe included this illustration in “The Compleat Irish Traveller” in the year 1788. [Pirated version by Luckombe of the Engraving by Paul Sandby and William Walker, originally created for G.Kearsly. The engraving shows Dromana House, Seat of the Fitzgeralds, Lords of the Decies, a junior branch of the Earls of Desmond]. Especially this illustration is lacking in most examples of “The compleat Irish Traveller” we know of. (Inanna Rare Books)

The medieval castle of Dromana occupied a spectacular site, high above the River Blackwater. From the 13thcentury onwards this was the seat of the FitzGeralds, Lords of the Decies, a junior branch of the Earls of Desmond. (Source: dromanahousedotcom)
