Laurel Lodge (Shrule) Thomas Hussey was occupying this property at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at just over £10. In 1838 the original Valuation Office books noted the occupant as Edward Nugent. The Ordnance Survey name books of the mid 1830s state that the townland was part of the Ledwith estate. The house is not named on the 1st edition OS map but is labelled Laurel Lodge on the 25” map of the early 20th century. It is now a ruin.
Castlecore/Castlecor House (Ballymahon) The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the original building at Castlecore was built as a hunting lodge in the mid 18th century by a member of the Harman family from Newcastle House. It underwent several changes and additions during the 19th century. Between the 1830s and the 1850s it was in the hands of Thomas Hussey and at the time of Griffiths Valuation, it was valued at £10. Hussey advertised it for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in 1855, when it was described as 'of a peculiarly convenient construction, built about 50 years at a cost of £4000'. The 'Freeman's Journal' reported that it was sold for over £6000. By the 1870s it was the seat of John Bond. In 1906 Castlecore was owned by Emily C. Clarke and valued at £44 10s. It is named as Castlecor House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Castlecore House on the later 25-inch edition. It is still extant. Photo of Castlecore/Castlecor House (Ballymahon)
