House name Description
Mountplunkett Built in 1806 by George Plunkett and home of the Plunkett family until the mid 19th century when it became the property of Patrick Grehan. Described in the Crotty sale rental of 1851 as a 'superb mansion' repaired by Mr Crotty at a cost of upwards of £2,000. Grehan held the house, valued at £30, in fee, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Samuel Richard Prosser lived in Mount Plunkett in the 1860s. The entrance gates are still in use but only walls remain of the house and outbuildings. Robert Adamson was apparently living at Mount Plunkett in the 1870s. Photo of Mountplunkett

Rathcline House St. George Johnston was leasing this property from Colonel Henry White’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at almost £38. Earlier, in 1837, Lewis referred to it as the seat of L. White. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the current house was built c.1820 though there is evidence to suggest there was an earlier house, also owned by the White family, at the site in the 1770s. Rathcline House served as a convent for the Sisters of Mercy in the mid-20th. It is still extant. Photo of Rathcline House
Cloonta Nicholas McGaver held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at almost £12. The Ordnance Survey Name Books describe the property as a 'good farmhouse with trees and plantations' in the 1830s. The 1906 Untenanted Demesnes survey record a valuation of almost £12 when it was owned by Patrick McGaver. It is now ruinous.
Middleton House Michael Quinn held Middlton in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £13. In 1837 Lewis referred to Middleton as the seat of H. Montfort while in 1814 Leet notes it as the residence of W.B. Montfort. It is still extant. Photo of Middleton House
Newpark House (Rathcline) Luke Bushe Fox held a property in fee here at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, with a valuation of almost £3. The original property in Newpark townland is labelled Newpark House on the 6” OS map. It appears to have become ruinous later. By the end of the 19th century Cordara House had been constructed at a different site in the same townland. It has since been demolished though some estate buildings remain at the site. In 1837 Lewis had recorded Newpark House as the seat of a Captain W.J. Davys.
Mosstown (Ballymahon) At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in the 1850s, this property was leased by Arthur Kingston from the King-Harman estate. The property was valued at £30 with a mill valued at £50. Lewis referred to Mosstown as the seat of Arthur Kingston in 1837. Mosstown has been demolished but the ruins of the mill and some estate architecture remains. Photo of Mosstown (Ballymahon)

Newtown Parochial House At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, this house was occupied by Reverend Nicholas O’Flanagan, leasing from Colonel Henry White. The property was valued at £10.

It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Newtown Parochial House
Ledwithstown House In 1837 Lewis referred to Ledwithstown House as the seat of W. Ledwith. Leet's Directory referred to it as the residence of Richard Dillon in 1814. By the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, it was held in fee by Edward Ledwith and valued at £15. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built c.1745 and was possibly designed by Richard Castle. It is still extant. In the 20th century it had become derelict but has been refurbished Photo of Ledwithstown House
