House name Description
Whitehall Edward Townsend held this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £22. Lewis noted it as the residence of S. Townsend in 1837. In 1906 it was owned by the representatives of Samuel R. Townsend and valued at £21. Bence-Jones indicates that it later became the property of the Alleyne family. The Irish Tourist Association reported in the early 1940s that it was still occupied at that time. Photo of Whitehall
Greenmount House Daniel Connor was leasing this property to Thomas Atridge at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at almost £9 and stood on a holding of 300 acres. In 1837 Lewis recorded Greenmount as the seat of Captain Long but in 1814 Leet refers to it as the seat of Thomas Atbridge [sic]. There is still a house at this site, undergoing renovation in 2009.
