Description A house built in the early 18th century and used by the first generations of Brownes at Westport. Wilson describes it as the seat of Mr. Browne in 1786. It was later occupied by Denis Browne, Member of Parliament, brother of the 1st Marquess of Sligo, and other family members. It was leased by John D. Browne from the Marquess of Sligo's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £30. The Irish Tourist Association file of the 1940s states that the mansion had been demolished.
