| Description | Cherrymount was leased from Forbes Johnston’s estate by Hugh Tuthill at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £16. Lewis recorded it as the seat of Dr. Crawford in 1837. In 1867 Forbes Johnston offered 160 acres of Cherrymount for sale in the Landed Estates Court. The sale notice stated that Hugh Tuthill's lease began in 1854, for 21 years. The property is labelled Cherrymount on the 1st and 25-inch Ordnance Survey maps. It was submerged under the waters of Assaroe Lake in the 1940s as part of the Erne Hydro Electric Scheme |
