Occupied by Marcus Patterson in the mid 19th century and held by him in fee. The buildings were valued at £8. In 1906 Marcus Wyndham Patterson owned Ballycuggaran with 618 acres of untenanted land.

His brother William Parker was in residence from at least 1837, holding the property from members of the Law family. By the end of the 19th century Robert Gabbett Parker lived in the house, which is still extant.
