Description Joseph Johnston was leasing this property from James Johnston at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £20. The site is labelled Killygordan Demesne or Weddingtown, on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of the 1830s. It is labelled Killygordan House on subsequent editions. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the original house was built in the later eighteenth century but subsequently modified. It was associated with the Mansfield family originally but with the Johnstons by the latter half of the nineteenth century. It is still extant and occupied.
