House name Description
Moatfarrell House At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Moatfarrell was leased by William F. Ryan from the estate of Edward Murphy when it was valued at £18. In the early 1840 it had been occupied by Laurence O'Rourke. The National Built Heritage Survey suggests the extensive outbuildings were constructed in the mid-nineteenth century and notes that the property was occupied by the Fegan family in the 1890s. The building is still extant.
Kilshruley House At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Major T.N. Edgeworth held this property in fee when it was valued at £20. It is labelled Kilshruley Manor on the 25-inch map of the early 20th century. It has since been demolished. A memorial stone at the site indicates that a castle belonging to the Adair family previously stood near the site.
Currygrane House In 1837 Lewis noted “Curraghgrane” as the seat of W.L. Galbraith. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, William F. Ryan was leasing this property from the Misses Bond, when it was valued at £20. In 1906 it was valued at over £47 and in the ownership of James Wilson. This was the birthplace of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, Britain’s chief military advisor at the end of WWI, assassinated in London in 1922. Currygrane House was burned a few weeks later and subsequently demolished. Extensive outbuildings remain at the site. Photo of Currygrane House
Garvagh House At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Robert Grier held this property in fee, when it was valued at £20. In 1837, Lewis had referred to “Lakeview” as the seat of R. Grier. In 1906 James Wilson was recorded as the owner and the property was still valued at £20. It was later demolished.
Ballygarve At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in the early 1850s, Christopher Reynolds was leasing this property from Robert Wybrants. The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention a ‘’good farmhouse’’ in the townland of Ballygarve in the 1830s. This property is now derelict.
Ballinalee Henry Reynolds was leasing this property from Reverend George Moore at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at over £15. It is possibly the building formerly in use as a Masonic Hall in the village and which the National Built Heritage Service suggests was converted to other uses in the 1840s. This building is extant but derelict. Photo of Ballinalee
Farraghroe House Willoughby Bond held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £55. Lewis had also referred to ‘’Farra’’ as his seat in 1837. In 1905 it was owned by James W. Bond and valued at £67. The house was demolished in the 20th century but much estate architecture, including the Steward’s House, remains. Photo of Farraghroe House
Kilmoyle At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Alexander McCormick was leasing this property from the estate of Captain W. Bond, when it was valued at £7. The 1906 Untenanted Demesnes survey records a valuation of almost £14 for the property when it was still part of the Bond estate. A modern house and large farm occupy the site now.
