| Description | Lewis refers to Mrs Furnell’s residence as "a neat building in the cottage style" situated near Longford bridge. The substantial house marked at this location on the first Ordnance Survey map is named Caherelly Castle but on later maps is recorded as Coole House. The Ordnance Survey Field Name Book call it Cahir Elly Castle or Coole House. It was valued at £30 and occupied by Michael Furnell who held it in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This house may have been known as Caherelly Grange in the last decades of the 19th century (see ''Burke's Irish Family Records''). The house is no longer extant but the outbuildings still remain. |
