Ballysaggartmore House | Held in fee by Arthur Ussher at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £68. Lewis refers to it as the seat of A Keily in 1837 when he describes the demesne as "ample and tastefully planned". Local sources suggest Arthur Keily-Ussher commenced building a lavish castle in 1850. The extravagent entrance depleted his funds and the castle was never completed. It was later purchased by the Woodruffe family. In 1906 it was the property of Richard Woodroffe and valued at £68. The house was burned in 1922 and demolished in the 1930s. The elaborate towers are still extant and part of the demesne is a Forestry Service amenity area. |

The property had previously been part of a Gumbleton estate, firstly as Ballygarron Castle and later, in the eighteenth century, a house known as Castlerichard. Wilson records it under this name in 1786, describing it as "the beautiful seat of Mr. Gumbleton". Its name was changed to Glencairn Abbey c.1814 when it was substantially altered and extended by Richard Edward Gumbleton. Following his death in 1819 it passed to his brother-in-law Henry A. Bushe, in whose family it remained until the 1880s. It became a Power property following the marriage of Frances Bushe and Ambrose Power of Barrettstown, county Tipperary. It was owned by the representatives of Gervase Bushe in 1906 and valued at £31. The Powers continued to occupy Glencairn until 1922. It was purchased by the Cistercian Order in 1926 and has been home to the Cistercian Sisters since. The substantial steward's house and farmyard [X009983] is now the home of the Barry family who provide guest accommodation there. In 1906 it was also held by Bushe's representatives and valued at £12. |
