| Cabra Cottage | This house was the home of the Pratt family until Cormey Castle was purchased in 1813 and was renamed Cabra Castle. Cabra Cottage is shown on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) as a substantial building close to a mill race, quarry and the ruins of the first Cabra Castle. Bence Jones describes this building as an early 18th century villa possibly designed by Sir Edward Lovett Pearce. He writes that it was used as a ballroom following the Pratts move to live in their new home in Cormey. In the mid-19th century it was valued at £20 for rates and Colonel Joseph Pratt was the owner and occupier. The 25 inch map shows the building much reduced in size. Bence Jones writes that it was destroyed by fire in the 1950s. | |

A castellated building of Gothic appearance Cabra Castle had a rateable valuation of £70 in the mid-19th century when occupied and owned by Colonel Pratt. It continued to be the main residence of the Pratts until the mid -0th century when it was inherited by a relative, Mervyn Sheppard, who sold it in the mid-1960s. It now functions as a hotel. https://www.cabracastle.com/ |

| Mullantra | Mullantra was located on the border between counties Cavan and Monaghan and north of the other Pratt homes in the locality. In 1814 it was occupied by James Butler Pratt. Lieutenant Edward Pratt of Mullantra, Kingscourt, petitioned the Lord Lieutenant in 1822 for an appointment to a post in the police establishment (National Archives CSO/RP/1822/1006). By the time of Griffith’s Valuation this building, the property of Colonel Pratt, had a rateable valuation of £2 and was vacant. A new building appears on a nearby site on the 25 inch map and is still extant in the middle of a forestry area. | |
