Rockfield House was built by Thomas Rothwell at the end of the eighteenth century. His son Richard carried out improvements around 1840/41. At the time it was built, the Rothwell family owned well over 3,000 acres in County Meath. Thomas Rothwell married Louisa Pratt, daughter of Mervin Pratt and his wife Madeline Jackson of Cabra Castle and Enniscoe House, respectively. Over the generations, the Rothwells married local land-owning families, including Nicholson (Balrath Bury) and Fitzherbert (Blackcastle).

During the 20th century it was owned by the Pigeon and Cameron families and at the turn of the 21st Century it was purchased by Trevor and Bernie Fitzherbert (originally from Blackcastle Estate).  They carried out a substantial programme of refurbishment and redecoration and returned the house and surrounding courtyards and walled garden to its former glory.

Amhráin ón gclann atá i gceist leis an mbeirt...Aintín agus neacht iad Nollaig agus Aedín. Is fada a bhí Nollaig ag canadh agus roinn sí a cuid amhráin go flaithiúil leis an gcéad glúin eile. Is iníon í Aedín le deirfiúr Nollaig,Caitríona atá ina saineolaí í féin ar an gcultúr agus ar an sean-nós. D'fhás clann Chaitríona  aníos ag éisteacht leis na hamhráin agus freisin ag freastal ar ranganna le Mairéad ní Cheallaigh í Rathcairn. Is iomaí fleadh agus ócáid  ar chas siad aige agus bhí an bua ag Aedín ag Fleadh na hÉireann 2025 i Loch Garman. 

Songs handed down from generation to generation with Nollaig and Aedín. Nollaig has been singing sean-nós a long while now having performed on numerous stages across different festivals and concerts.  She has generously shared her wealth of knowledge of the sean-nós tradition with the next generation. Aedín is a daughter of Nollaig's sister Caitríona, who is also a great exponent of the sean-nós tradition singing herself and passing on the tradition to her family. Her children have grown up listening to songs and were lucky to attend classes with the legendary Mairéad ní Cheallaigh in Rathcairn. They have taken part in lots of Fleadhanna over the years and Aedín is the current All-Ireland u18 champion.
