At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Richard Parsons held land in the parish of Kilkeedy, barony of Pubblebrien. In November 1851 his lands at Carrigogunnell, barony of Pubblebrien, amounting to 746 acres were advertised for sale. The Freeman's Journal reported that the sale was adjourned due to insufficient bidding.
