Clonmeen Lodge | Hajba writes that this house was the home of Cornelius O'Callaghan in 1750. In 1786 Wilson refers to "Bantyre" as the seat of Mr. Callaghan. Viscount Lismore is recorded as proprietor of Clonmeen in 1814. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Clonmeen Lodge was occupied by George Grehan and held from Viscount Lismore. It was valued at £7+. The Grehans continued to use this house as a secondary residence while their main residence was in Dublin. In 1893 a much larger house, Clonmeen House, was built close to the lodge. In the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association Survey noted "The Lodge, Banteer" as the residence of Jerome O'Callaghan and stated that the house had originally been built by the Nash family as a fishing lodge. A building is still extant at the site. | |
Highfort | The Purcells originally lived in a thatched house located a short distance from the present building and this house was associated with a Whiteboy attack. John Purcell was knighted for his defense of his property. The later house was built by his son, Dr. Richard Purcell, circa 1837 and Dr Richard's wife, Mrs Eliza Purcell, was resident in the early 1850s when the house was valued at £21+ and held from Pierce Purcell. Mrs Eliza Purcell was the second daughter of Pierce Purcell of Altimira. Occupied by Daniel Stephen Wigmore in the early 20th century. The Irish Tourist Association Survey of the 1940s noted that it was then the residence of the O'Sullivan family. It is no longer extant. | |
