House name Description
The Reeks or Baunclune The McGillycuddy was in possession of the property at Whitefield at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £24 10s. Lewis and Leet also refer to Whitefield as a seat of The McGillycuddy in 1837 and 1814 respectively. Leet, however, also notes McGillycuddy Reeks as the address of McGillycuddy esq. In 1906 it was McGillycuddy property and valued at £24. Bary states that the house was originally known as The Reeks after the family title but that it was changed to Whitefield in the early 19th century by Richard McGillycuddy. However, on both the 1st and 25-edition Ordnance Survey maps it is labelled Baunclune. In more recent times it is known as The Reeks. This is how it is referred to by the Irish Tourist Association surveyor in the early 1940s who states that it was the the home of "Ross Kinloch, the MacGillycuddy of the Reeks and a member of Seanad Eireann". The house is still extant and occupied. Photo of The Reeks or Baunclune
Ballymalis Christopher Gallway was leasing a property from John Sealy, which included a mill, at Ballymalis at the time of Griffith’s valuation. It was then valued at £34. It is labelled "paper mill" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and as "woollen mill" on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. An extensive range of buildings still exists at the site. Elsewhere in this townland is Ballymalis Castle, a tower house in existence since the sixteenth century and latterly, associated with the Eager family.
Gortnaskarry House At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Michael Horgan was leasing a property at Gortnaskarry valued at £5 from the representatives of Denis Mahony. Bary speculates that it may once have been an inn. It is still extant.
Gortnaskarry Cottage Colonel Drummond was leasing a property valued at almost £5 to John Breen at the time of Griffith’s valuation. It is labelled Gortnaskarry Cottage on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey and remains by this name on subsequent editions.A house and farm are still extant at the site.
Annadale Lewis refers to Anadale as the seat of C. Colter in 1837. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Henry Blennerhassett was leasing a house at Annadale, parish of Killorglin, valued at £11 10s from a Mr. Thompson. Bary states that this is likely to be Peter Thompson whose wife was a Blennerhassett. The house is still extant though possibly not inhabited.
Mount Rivers (Killorglin) This property at Annagarry is mentioned by Lewis in 1837 and Leet in 1814 as a residence of R. Blennerhassett, though the latter refers to the house as Mount Rivers. It is named on the 1st edition OS Map as Mount Rivers. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation it was being leased by Robert Blennerhassett but was in the Court of Chancery. It was then valued at £17 15s. Bary states that there is no trace of it now.
Kilburn House Edward Godfrey was leasing Kilburn House to John W. Bonner at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £11 5s. Bary states that this property was owned for much of the nineteenth century by Reverend William Godfrey and his wife, Lucy Day but was usually let to a tenant. The property is still extant and now a farmhouse B&B run by the Leane family. See www.stayatkilburn.com Photo of Kilburn House
Killeen House (Kilcolman) William Miles was leasing Killeen House from the Leeson estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £15 5s. Bary states that the Myles family were associated with this house since the eighteenth century and continued there up to the 1880s. Later occupants demolished the house due to its poor condition.
Callanafersy House A Robert Leeson was leasing Callanafersy House to Ephraim Williams at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £12 5s. Bary indicates that this house was leased by the Williams family and probably had been built by them earlier in the nineteenth century. It is still extant and occupied.
Callanafersy House Richard J. Leeson-Marshall built Callanafersy House around 1861 and the family continued to own the house until well into the twentieth century. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Callanafersy House
Altavilla Robert Rae was the owner of this property at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £5 5s. It is named as Altavilla on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. In 1837 Lewis refers to Ardmoniel Cottage, the seat of R. Rae, but also to Altavilla, residence of J. Morrogh. Bary mentions that Altavilla was associated with the Morrogh family. It was later the residence of the Dodd family and is still extant.
