Wilson, in 1786, refers to it as the seat of Mr. Dillon. In the possession of Samuel Russell in 1906 when the buildings were valued at £3. It is no longer extant.

The house is still extant and occupied and in 2014 was offered for sale.
Bawn House (Longford) In 1837 Lewis described Bawn House as the property of Mr. Fox but the seat of Arthur Griffith. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note the occupant as Mr. Babington in the mid-1830s. John Daly was leasing the house from John S. Kirwan’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at almost £19. In 1906 it was the property of Henry B. Armstrong and valued at £13.

This is the same valuation assigned to it by the original Valuation Office books in 1839 when the occupier was John Jessop. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was demolished c.1980. A substantial stable block and other estate architecture survives. Photo of Mount Jessop
