House name Description
Arley Cottage A graphic of Arley Cottage ‘belonging to Colonel Barry’ in the National Library is dated circa 1820s, see http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000550550. The Farnham Papers also refer to Arley Cottage in 1822. Lewis records Arley as the property of Lord Farnham and it was occupied by the Hon Somerset Maxwell in the mid-1840s and by the Hon Richard Maxwell in the mid-1850s when it had a rateable valuation of £20. The Hon. Henry Maxwell was the occupier in 1906. This building is no longer extant.
Crover House This house is located on the shore of Lough Sheelin and in the mid-19th century was valued at £21.5.0. for rates. It was occupied by Thomas Cummins and held from Lord Farnham’s son, the Hon Somerset Mawell. By 1876 Robert John Cuming was resident at Crover. He owned 1,118 acres in the county. In 1901 Julia Cuming, a widow, and her daughter Kate were still resident. This house became a hotel in 1957. http://www.croverhousehotel.ie/History

Dungummin House Dungummin House with a very small demesne is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). In 1814 Leet records John Ingham of Dungimmon, Mount Nugent. Joseph Lynch was the occupier recorded in Griffith’s Valuation. He held the property, described as a herd’s house and valued at £12.10.0., from Thomas Whitney. Michael Palles Lynch of Dungimon, county Cavan and of Coola, county Westmeath, sixth son of Joseph Lynch of Roebuck House, county Cavan, is recorded in Walford’s 1910.

Roebuck Roebuck was a Lynch home from at least the early 19th century when Edward Lynch was recorded as resident in 1814. Lewis records W. Reilly as the proprietor of Roebuck. In the 1850s Joseph Lynch was the occupant recorded in Griffith’s Valuation, when the buildings were valued at £15 and held from the Representatives of William O’Reilly Adams. By 1906, Henry Galligan was occupying this 'mansion' house valued at £15 for rates and 365 acres of untenanted land.
Gore Port [Derrymacegan] In the 1850s Captain Alexander Walker was leasing this property from the Gore estate when it was valued at £15. It is labelled Derrymacegan on the 1st edition OS map but as Gore Port on subsequent editions. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the earlier part of the property dates from the mid 18th century and the later part from the early 19th century. O'Brien suggests that it was Captain Walker who built the later building, c.1835. Sir Samuel Walker, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, 1892-95, was born at Gort Port in 1832. The house is still extant.
Annis Grove This property was valued at almost £10 at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was leased by Patrick Lynch from the Gore estate. O'Brien states that it was occupied by the Lynch family from at least the early nineteenth until the last quarter of the twentieth century. He indicates that it was originally known as Money, from the townland in which it is situated. It is now a ruin.
Tullystown At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s James McCullagh was leasing this property from the Duke of Buckingham’s estate when it was valued at £11. It was still in the McCullough family in 1906 with the same valuation. O'Brien records that Tullystown was damaged by fire in 2013 and gives an account of the various buildings that have existed at this site. Photo of Tullystown
