Description 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.
