| Description | Lewis refers to Kilmainham as the residence of A. Bell and the house is named as The Cottage on the first edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). By the time of Griffith’s Valuation about 20 years later, Henry Montford was the occupier, holding the property from William Humphrys of Ballyhaise. The building would appear to have been extended by this time as its rateable valuation was £15. The house is named Heath Lodge on the 25 inch map. James Hartley and family were resident at Heath Lodge in 1901 while Hector John Atkinson and his wife Sybil were the occupants in 1911 holding the property from the representatives of James Harley. A building of similar shape still exists at this site. |
