Description John Breen was leasing a house valued at £7 5s along with almost 200 acres from the Landsdowne estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. On the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s, the building in this townland is labelled Glencar Hotel, which is still the name it is known by today. The hotel history indicates the property may initially been used as a hunting lodge for the Landsdowne estate. See www.glencarhouse.com.
