Historique
Rockfield was built some time after 1798 by a man named Higgins who had leased the land from the Fuller Family. It wa reported that he was an informer and received bribes from the government. This likely lead to his death, as he was found dead beside his horse on the road. His son, Harry, ran though all of his money and was reduced to poverty. Captain Adam Henry Fuller purchased Rockfield with money paid for him by Marcus Goodbody for the lease of Gurteen.
When Doctor Dalkeith Holmes Plunkett-Johnston died at Streete, in Somerset, Mrs Maria Blanche Plunkett-Johnston took her daughter Constance Charlotte, to live with her mother Mrs. Lizzy Fuller at Rockfield. Mrs. Fuller died in 1902, and Ms Plunkett-Johnston went to Dublin to stay with her uncle the Reverend Abraham Stritch Fuller DD. Rockfield became the property of Abraham Augustus Fuller, who let it to a man named Griffiths. When the estate was sold, Griffiths retained Rockfield, and later sold it to a man named Walsh.
