Trees have rooted themselves across the interior, bowing out the east wall as they grew, and most of the cut stone was long ago carted away for use elsewhere. Yet the outline of the building is still legible if you know what to look for: a T-shaped footprint roughly 26 metres long, with a later squared addition at the south-west corner, and, near ground level on the east elevation, a relieving arch of stone voussoirs, an engineering device used to redistribute the load above an opening, sitting just above the soil alongside a square-headed cut stone window or door surround, partially visible from both sides of the wall.

The house was the main residence of the Creagh family through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The family's connection to the area stretches back further still: their line descended from Pierse Creagh, who served as Lord Mayor of Limerick in 1651 and died at Dangan in 1670. By the time the 1840 Ordnance Survey six-inch map was made, the house was already recorded in its T-shaped form; a later twenty-five-inch edition shows the south-west addition in place, as well as a front projection on the east elevation, probably a porch or staircase. The house was held in fee by Cornelius Creagh, at a valuation of over £25. It was sold in the 1920s, had fallen into ruin by the 1940s, and was demolished, according to local accounts, in the late 1940s. The demolition evidently stripped the structure rather than levelled it; the basement walls survive, along with scattered fragments of finely dressed stone lying loose outside the east wall.

The wider estate complex still reads clearly on the ground. A walled garden adjoins the house to the west, with a gardener's shed at its eastern side. A draw-well and a modern pump-house sit in a small rubble stone enclosure a few metres to the south. Some sixty metres to the south-south-east, a farmyard complex includes a herdsman's house and the remnant of a farm shed. The most quietly eloquent survival, though, is the cut stone bridge on the entrance avenue to the east, where a stream once marked the formal approach to the house. On its northern parapet, a carved plaque bears the Creagh coat of arms, dated 1853, with the inscription 'Creagh Esq. Dangn' below. The opposing parapet carries a plaque with a horse's head. The family had been gone from the house for less than a century when it was pulled down.
