House name Description
Carrowgowan From at least 1814 the house was occupied by the Deanes who held it from Colonel McAlpine, who held from John Knox of Castlereagh. The house was described as in good repair, with offices, orchard and garden. Daniel H. Mellet occupied the house at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is now demolished.
Thornhill Home of Charles Burke Jordan in the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, he was leasing this property to James Jordan when it was valued at £5. The building labelled Thornhill on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map is not the same as that on the later 25-inch edition published in the 1890s. The latter is no longer extant but some buildings remain at the original site.
Barleyhill In 1786 Wilson noted Barleyhill as the seat of Mr. McManus. Ruane dates the house from about 1748 with alterations in the 1770s and 1790s. He states that the house and 170 acres were occupied by George Harkin at the time of Griffith's Valuation, however the Valuation records Bernard McManus as the occupier of the house valued at £15. Quinn records that Bernard McManus had gone to live at Brownstown in 1856. The Aitken family have lived at Barleyhill for over a hundred years. Photo of Barleyhill
