At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Lindsay owned land in the townland of Friarsgrange, parish of Coolmundry, in which Ballinard Castle is situated. It appears that, in the nineteenth century, a house was built adjoining the original tower house as, in 1840, the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to Ballinard Castle, a gentleman's seat in the townland of Friarsgrange. Information in the Woodstock Museum, Ontario, Canada, indicates that the building was owned by the Lindsay family until 1926. The building is still extant.

An old manor house, also in ruins, is shown as well. The Ordnance Survey Name Books, in 1840, describe the site as "two large houses, one having its eastern end and the other, its eastern side, joining the ruins of the Old Manor House". At the time of Griffiths' Valuation, the townland was in the possession of the Hackett estate and the houses are described as "in ruins". The ruins are not shown on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s.
