House name Description
Milltown House At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Robert Hickson was leasing a house & mill, valued at almost £29, from the representatives of Walter Hussey. A large house, now functioning as a guesthouse, is located at the site. Photo of Milltown House
Burnham Lord Ventry held a house valued at £49 at Burnham East, barony of Corkaguiny, at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis mentions that the family lived for much of the time in England and the house was occupied by their agent, David Thompson. The Ordnance Survey Name Books indicate that the house had been built c.1790 at a cost of £4000. Wilson, however, refers to Burnham as the seat of Thomas Mullins in 1786. Later, members of Lord Ventry’s family resided there. It was still owned by Lord Ventry in 1906 when the house was valued at £80 and ancillary buildings at Burnham West valued at £28. The property was sold to the Land Commission in the 1920s and the house became an Irish speaking secondary school for girls, Coláiste Íde, which is still in operation. Photo of Burnham
Kilfarnoge Richard Leahy held a property valued at almost £7, together with over 240 acres, at Kilfarnoge, barony of Corkaguiny, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The property is labelled as Coon on the 1895 OS map.
Ballyameen At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Rev. Thomas Goodman was leasing this property, together with over 100 acres, from Lord Ventry's estate. It was valued at £4 52. In 1814, Leet had recorded it as the residence of Rev. John Goodman. This house is no longer extant.
Caheratrant In 1906 Lord Ventry's estate owned a property valued at £5 5s at Caheratrant. This may refer to the Coastguard Station. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, much of this area was held by David Thompson, Lord Ventry's agent.
