Friarstown | In 1856 William Leith was leasing Friarstown from John Johnston at which time it was valued at £20. In the 1870s it was the address of Thomas Robert Palmer who owned over 1600 acres in Leitrim at that time. In 1814 it was the residence of Andrew Johnston and Lewis also recorded it as a seat of that family in 1837. The original house is no longer extant but modern buildings exist at the site. | |
Drumahaire Lodge | Dromahaire Lodge was part of the Lane-Fox estate and was usually the home of the agent. During the 19th century these included D. Stewart and Joshua Kell. To the rear site are the ruins of a seventeenth-century fortified house, built by Sir William Villiers and formerly the seat of the O'Rourke family. |
