Mrs Susan McDonnell [McDaniel] held this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £11 10s. It is labelled Desert Cottage on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and Knockmacool House on the later 25-inch edition. An Encumbered Estates Sale notice of May 1851 indicates she had previously held it from the Warren estate. A house is still extant at the site.
