| Description |
Named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) and situated in a small demesne in which was situated a quarry. In 1814 Mr William Gwynne was recorded as the proprietor of Killicar, Belturbet by Ambrose Leet. Slater’s Directory of 1846 records Arthur Nesbitt as resident at Killicar Lodge, Belturbet. Killicar House appears to have been extended by the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £18 for rates. John A. Nesbitt was the owner and occupier. In 1906, Anne Davey was described as the occupier of this 'mansion' house with a rateable valuation of £21. There are also references to John Albert Nesbitt of Fort Hill, Drumasladdy [a townland adjoining Killicar] and this house may have been known as Fort Hill for a time. A building is still extant at this site. |
