Description Rossana House is named on the first edition OS map. It was built in the early 19th century but is not mentioned in Leet (1814). However, Lewis records Captain Stubbs as the occupant in 1837. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation Elizabeth Murray (nee Rushworth), widow of Major General James P Murray of Killinure House, was resident holding the property valued at £16.5 from Anne Stubbs who held the 30 acre townland from the King-Harmans. Members of the Murray family appear to have occupied the house during the rest of the 19th century. John and Ethel Hall were resident in 1901. Sold to the Sisters and Disciples of the Divine Master in the mid-1960s and demolished circa 1990 according to the list of Protected Structure for the county.
