Bonnyglen The Sinclair estate held two properties in fee in this townland at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. A house valued at £8 was unoccupied while a caretaker’s house was valued at almost £5. In 1906 William Montgomery Sinclair was the owner of a mansion house valued at £28 at Bonnyglen. It is no longer extant and modern houses occupy the site. In 1837 Lewis had recorded Murray Babbington as the occupier of Bonnyglen. Documents included in the Chief Secretary Office papers at the National Archives of Ireland indicate Murray Babington acted as land agent for Alexander Murray.
