Wall (Wallscourt)
The Wall family held this estate until the 18th century when it came into the possession of the Blake family of Ardfry. The family title derives from this property. In 1852 the property at Wallscourt was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates court with William Vesey Fitzgerald Hickman as the owner.
