House name Description
Dunnamark House Leased by Alicia Tisdall from Samuel Hutchins at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8 5s. In the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it was the residence of Dr. Nunan. There is still an extant house at the site.
Dunnamark Mill Michael Murphy was leasing this property, including a mill, from the Kenmare estate in 1852, when it was valued at £35. The building is labelled Barytes Mill on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. It is now a ruin.
Gurteenroe House John Shea Lalor was leasing Gurteenroe from the Kenmare estate in 1852 when it was valued at £10 10s. Lewis noted it as his residence in 1837. It appears to have been occupied by a Gallway family in the 1780s as both Taylor and Skinner and Wilson mention a residence of that family in this area. It is now a ruin.
Newtown (Bantry) Held in fee by the Earl of Kenmare's estate in 1852 when it was valued at £8 5s. Lewis refers to it as the seat of M. Murphy in 1837. There is still an extant house at the site.

Ivy Cottage (Bantry) Jeremiah O'Connell was leasing this property from Robert E. White at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £24. A substantial farmyard was located nearby. By the later nineteenth century the house appears to have been known as Beach Cottage. A slightly later building, known as Ardeevin House, exists at this site now. Photo of Ivy Cottage (Bantry)
Caherdaniel House (Bantry) Leased from the Bantry estate by John Cotter at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at almost £9. Occupied buildings still survive at the site.
Bantry House Bantry House was held in fee by the Earl of Bantry at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £125. The house history indicates it has been the home of the White family since about 1765 when Richard White purchased what was then Blackrock House. Wilson still refers to it by the latter name in 1786 but it is named Bantry House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of the 1830s. The Irish Tourist Association survey of the 1940s contains a detailed description of the house's interior at that time. Bantry House has been open to the public since 1946 and a prestigous music festival is held there each summer. For more information see www.bantryhouse.com. Photo of Bantry House
Trawnahaha Elizabeth Vickery was leasing this property on Whiddy Island from the Earl of Bantry's estate in 1852 when it was valued at £14. It is not named on the 1st edition OS map and the grid reference is approximate.
