Ballynagornagh House | In 1786 Wilson refers to "O'Barley-Hill" as a seat of Mr. Morris. At the time of the publication of the 1st Ordnance Survey the original Ballynagornagh House is described as "in ruins". However, a house has been restored on the site by the 1890s when it appears on the 25-inch Map. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the townland was still in the possession of the Morris family though much of it was leased to the Donovans. The house was valued at £4 5s. A substantial farm occupies the site now. | |
Cellmount House | Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to "Selmount House" as a seat of Mr. Morris, three miles from Ross Carbery. This property is labelled "Cellmount House, in ruins" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and there is no trace of it on later maps. | |
Rossmore (Kilmeen) | At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Jeremiah Collins was leasing Rossmore from the superioress of the Presentation Convent in Cork. The house was valued at £13 at the time. In 1944 the Irish Tourist Association Survey referred to Rossmore as a "substantial farm dwelling", a description which is still valid. |
