Gearha | In 1906 Mary Mahony owned this property valued at £4 5s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Frederick Hyde was leasing it from the Mahony estate when it was valued at £2 5s. Buildings are still extant at the site. | |
Marino Lodge | In 1906 John Columb owned this property, then valued at £6 10s. There are two bathing lodges in this area at the time of Griffith's Valuation, Marino Lodge and Clashganniv. These properties seem to have been part of the Langford estate. | |
The Shrubberies (Kenmare) | At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Kenmare Board of Poor Law Guardians were leasing this property from Nathaniel Irvine as an Auxiliary workhouse, when it was valued at £37. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map it is labelled Monastery but on the later 25-inch Map of the 1890s it appears as The Shrubberies. It is still extant. | |
Prospect (Killarney) | In 1786 Wilson that a house named Prospect, one mile from Killarney, was the seat of Mr. Supple. The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention Prospect House as the residence of Thomas Browne in the 1830s. It seems to have become ruinous after this as only a gate lodge is mentioned in Griffith's Valuation and Prospect is now shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. |
