Like Brackley Lodge it was the home of members of the Finlay family. It was valued at £23.5.0. in the mid-19th century and was occupied by George Finlay who held the property from Sir Thomas Finlay. Francis Finlay, minor, of Corville is listed in the landowners of 1876. By the beginning of the 20th century Corville was the property of Robert Henry Johnston. Thomas Flynn and family were caretaking the house for him in 1901. This house is still well maintained and occupied. Photo of Corville

Ballyconnell Castle/House Ballyconnell Castle was built in 1764 by George Leslie Montgomery to replace a former early 18th century building which was accidently burnt down. Leet records Mrs Storey as resident in 1814 and Lewis records John Enery as the occupier of Ballyconnell House in the 1830s. The Enerys and Montgomerys were related. In the mid-19th century George Roe, a medical doctor, was the owner and occupier, having purchased the property valued at £40 for rates, from the Enerys, when it was described as a ‘spacious and comfortable mansion, with suitable out-offices’. In 1906, Samuel B. Roe was recorded as the occupier when the buildings were valued at £32.10.0. for rates. It is now located in the middle of a housing estate. Photo of Ballyconnell Castle/House
