Robert McCausland was agent of William Conolly who purchased the Limavady Estate from the Phillip’s family. Conolly, at one time Speaker of the Irish Parliament, acquired his riches buying and selling estates. McCausland erected the first house several hundred yards south east of this building in the 1730s. This was demolished to make way for the present house designed by the eminent architect Charles Lanyon in the 1830′s. The building comands its surrounding landscape
