John B. Warren was leasing this property from Richard Orpen at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8 10s. It is named on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as Sillahertane Cottage though Lewis records it as Sillerdine Cottage in 1837. Bary indicates that it was also known as Sillahertane House and Warren's Lodge.The house later came into the possession of Francis Wise Low, of Kilshane, county Tipperary, who extended it in the early years of the twentieth century. In 1906 it was owned by Sarah S. Lowe and valued at £40. It was burnt in 1921 and is now a ruin. It forms part of a 500-acre sporting estate which also includes a self-catering holiday home, dating from the 1870s. See www.sillahertane.com.for an in-depth history of the estate. |
