| Description | The present house replaced that marked on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). Danesfort was the home of the Dean of Kilmore and is situated a short distance from Kilmore Cathedral. Mulligan refers to a Deanery House on the site in 1739. Dean Magenis was resident in 1814 and Lord Fitzgerald and Vesey, Dean of Kilmore, in the 1850s. The buildings were valued at £24 for rates. The building is still in use as the home of an ecclesiastic. |
