| Description | The house in the village of Clontibret on this site is recorded on the 1st edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (1836) as Mill Mount House. It was located on the Blayney (Hope) estate and was the home of the Swanzy family. Lewis refers to the ‘handsome residence’ of A. Swanzy while the Ordnance Survey Field Name Book describes it as a two storey slated house. There was a corn mill nearby. The house was extended and was valued at £24 in the mid-19th century when Humphry Jones, son-in-law of Andrew Swanzy, was the occupant. On the 25 inch map it is named Carrickaderry House. McSkane writes that Carrickaderry was built for the Coote family from Cootehill, Co Roscommon and inherited by a cousin Humphrey Jones. The old house was demolished and a new one built which passed to the McQuade/McQuaid family following the death of Humphrey and his wife. House demolished in the early 1970s. |
