House name Description
Baurnahulla House/The Cottage George Robinson was leasing this property from the representatives of Thomas Deasy at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £12 15s. The adjacent mills were valued at £14. A house labelled The Cottage is shown adjacent to the site of Baurnahulla House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. A house still exists at this site. Local sources suggest this was a house lived in by a Fr. Ryan in the 1830s.
Butler's Gift Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Butler's-Gift as the seat of Mr. O'Callaghan. Local sources suggest that the name came from the bequest of the lands of Baurnahulla to Richard Tonson from Major Anthony Butler in the early 18th century.
