House name Description
Auburn Auburn - Detached five-bay two-storey over raised basement house, built or rebuilt in the early 19th century (boi) This house takes its name from the Goldsmith Poem ‘The Deserted Village’, which was apparently inspired by the countryside surrounding this property where Goldsmith grew up as a boy. Auburn House was reputedly remodeled in the early nineteenth-century by John Hogan, whose father, a solicitor, acquired the property and estate from the Naper Family (of Loughcrew, Oldcastle, Co. Meath) in settlement of legal costs. J Hogan was the occupant in 1837. It was later sold to William Henry Daniel c.1848 and later to G.A.G. Adamson in 1864. In 1906 the buildings were valued at £34 and Charles G Adamson was the occupier. The Adamson family continued to reside at Auburn until about 1980. The house is now a ruin. Photo of Auburn
Lackan Lodge O’Brien writes of Walter Dillon living at Lackan in 1796. Lackan Lodge, valued at £14, was occupied by William Thomson in the mid-19th century. He held the property from the Dillons minors. A new building has been erected on this site. Photo of Lackan Lodge
Park Place At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Ambrose Bole was leasing Park Place from the Jessop estate, when it was valued at over £27. The National Built Heritage Service dates the remaining walled garden evidence to the late 18th century and suggests that Park Place was the residence of the Moffat family. The Ordnance Survey Name Books of the 1830s note that the demesne was “cultivated by Mr. Robinson, the County Treasurer”. This is likely to be John Robinson, who, according to the Valuation Office Books, was the occupier in 1839, when the house was valued at £16. Family history sources suggest Ambrose Bole was a land agent, who managed the estates of the King-Harman and Shuldham families during the second half of the 19th century. Park Place was demolished in the 20th century but some estate architecture remains. Photo of Park Place
Mount Dalton Mount Dalton, named on the first edition OS map but on the 25 inch map (c 1914) as Loughazon Hall. It is a six-bay two-storey over basement country house, built 1784, on a rectangular plan. Erected by Count Richard D'Alton (d. 1790) on his return to Ireland following a distinguished career in the Austrian Service but subsequently vacated by him when he took up the post of Governor of the Austrian Netherlands (Lewis 1837 II, 491-2). Lewis describes the house as standing 'on the banks of a fine sheet of water ... formerly the seat of the ancient family of D'Alton ... the house which is now the residence of O W C Begg was built in 1784 by Count Richard D'Alton'. Valued at £16, it was unoccupied at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) and the immediate lessor was Thomas Babington. Historic connections with the D'Alton family including Count Oliver D'Alton (d. 1799); Ignatius Dillon Begg (d. 1813) and Countess Elizabeth Begg (née D'Alton) (d. 1832); Oliver William Costello Dillon Begg (d. 1848) [of] Mount Dalton Rathconrath (Lewis 1837 xi); and the Brabazon family. Mount Dalton is the home of the Brabazon Gibson family.
Glenmore (Moydow) Noble Armstrong was leasing this property from the King Harman estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at almost £12. Both Lewis in 1837 and Leet in 1814 referred to it as the seat of Newcomen Armstrong. It is extant but disused. Photo of Glenmore (Moydow)
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)
Tennalick House Tennalick House was associated with the nearby mill complex. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, it was leased by Stephen Cullen to Robert Diamond and was valued at £10. The mill complex was leased by John McCann & Co. also from Stephen Cullen and valued at £130. The Valuation Office House Books indicate that the house occupied by Robert Diamond was valued at £12 in 1840, while the mills, then held by William McCann, were valued at £62. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the now-ruinous house at Tennalick dates from the early 18th century and may incorporate the remains of a 17th century house. It associates the site with the O’Farrell and Sankey families and later with the Gore estate, 1st Barons Annaly, before its acquisition by the White family, third Barons Annaly, in the early 19th century. Both the house and mills at Tennalick are now ruinous. Photo of Tennalick House
Knappoge House Robert Wallace was listing this property from Colonel Henry White’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at over £10. A house is extant at the site but may not be original.
Colehill (Longford) The Ordnance Survey Name Books noted that Colonel White was the proprietor of the townland of Colehill. The house of the same name was leased by a Mrs. Power to Captain Robert N. Bolton at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at almost £18. The Valuation Office House books of the 1840s record Thomas Lennon as the occupier at that time. The National Built Heritage Service dates the original part of this house to the 1760s with later additions in the mid 19th century. It indicates that the house was associated with the Nugent family. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Colehill (Longford)
Castlewilder [Cloghdoo House] Richard P. O’Reilly, MD, held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £30. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map it is labelled Cloghdoo House but as Castlewilder on the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note that the townland at that time (1835) was the property of Mr. Wilder. In 1814 Leet referred to 'Castlewilden' as the seat of John Mangan. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house and its complex of estate buildings was built in the 18th century but modified in the 1880s. Photo of Castlewilder [Cloghdoo 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
Lislea House (Ballymahon) Lislea House was leased by Elizabeth Bickerstaff from the Smyth estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £12. In 1837 Lewis noted it as the seat of J.C. Bickerstaff. It is still extant. Datestones on the estate buildings suggest two phases of development at the site, in the 1820s and the 1860s. Elizabeth Bickerstaff was the owner of over 350 acres in County Longford in the 1870s Photo of Lislea House (Ballymahon)
Antely Cottage A property labelled Antely Cottage is visible on the 25-inch OS map of the early 20th century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in the early 1850s, Robert de Ricci, MD, was leasing lands in this area from the Shuldham estate. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that Antely Cottage evolved from an earlier, possibly 1760s structure on the site. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Antely Cottage
Moygh House John Shuldham held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £35. In 1837 Lewis referred to Moigh as the seat of M. Shuldham. It is labelled Moygh House on all OS editions. It is still extant. Photo of Moygh House
Treel House William Atkinson was occupying Treel House at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it and the adjacent mill were valued at £28. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house was built c.1830. In 1839 the original Valuation Books, however, stated that at that time no house in the townland had a valuation of greater than £5 suggesting that Treel House was enlarged after that date. The Ordnance Survey Name Books noted in 1835 that the townland was then the property of Mr. Fox. Treel is still extant though not in use. Photo of Treel House
Clynan House Bevan Slator was occupying Clynan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £24. It was leased from William C. Rochfort. In 1840 the original valuation had recorded it as the seat of Bernard Slator with the same valuation. The National Built Heritage Service associates the property with the Coates and Slator families. It is now ruinous.
Creevaghmore (Ballymahon) Edwin Moore Sandys was leasing Creevaghmore House to William Hogan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £20. In 1837 Lewis referred to “Creevagh” as the seat of R. Sandys. Leet refers to 'Creevagh' as the seat of John Fetherston in 1814. Creevaghmore is still extant. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built in the mid 18th century. Photo of Creevaghmore (Ballymahon)
Lisglassock House At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Grace Robinson held this property in fee when it was valued at almost £25. In 1837 Lewis referred to it as the seat of J.R. Robinson. The National Built Heritage Service suggests this house was built c.1810 and that it was associated with the Robinson family throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1906 it owned by John Robinson. It is still extant. In recent years it has been sympathetically renovated and offers guest accommodation. Photo of Lisglassock House
Knockagh House [Hermitage] Francis Kenny was leasing this property from the Robinson estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £12.

On the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century it is labelled “Knockagh House – in ruins”.
Richmount Hill John Higgins, MD, was leasing this property from Jane Richardson’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at over £15. In 1814 Leet referred to it as the seat of Auchmuty Richardson. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that this house was built c.1720. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Richmount Hill
Corrabola House Hugh Morrow was leasing this property from the Jessop estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £28. Lyons records the sale of the house and estate in the Landed Estates Court in 1861. The schedule notes that it had been built by Morrow about 20 years previously and provides a good description of the house and demesne. The interest was purchased by the Jessop estate. The sale notice includes a lithograph of the house. A painting of this house, attributed to Arthur Morrow, is held in a New Zealand collection, where members of the Morrow family emigrated to in the 1860s. This house later features as the address of Thomas Alder Cusack, a Dublin solicitor who managed the Jessop estate. Photo of Corrabola House
Doory Hall Doory Hall was the residence of F.T. Jessop at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £50. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the current ruined property dates from the 1820s but that it replaced an earlier dwelling at the site. In 1906 it was owned by Louisa Jessop and still valued at £50. The remains of a large number of ancillary estate buildings area also visible at the site. Photo of Doory Hall
Torboy House Phillip McCutcheon was leasing Torboy from Colonel Palliser’s estate from at least the early 1840s, as shown in the Valuation Office House books. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s the house was valued at over £12. The Landed Estates Court sale notice of 1862 indicates Philip McCutcheon had renewed his lease on this property in 1848. Torboy House is still extant and occupied. Photo of Torboy House
Laurel Lodge (Ballymahon) At the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s, the property at this site was described as a herd’s house with a value of £4. It was occupied by Edward Phillips, leasing from the King Harman estate. A larger house was later erected on the site and is still extant. Photo of Laurel Lodge (Ballymahon)
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.

Clooncallow House Clooncallow House was occupied by Thomas Bredin at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £12. He was also noted by the valuers as the occupier in 1840, though his name was spelt 'Braydon' at the time. Thomas Bradon is also recorded as a landholder in Clooncallow in the Tithe Applotment records in 1829. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Clooncallow House
Forgney House Thomas Lennon was occupying Forgney House at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £12 and leased from the King Harman estate. It is possible that this is the same property which the valuers recorded as occupied by William Atkinson in 1840 and then valued at over £13. The house is not visible on the 25” map of the early twentieth century and the area is now covered by forestry. Elsewhere in the same townland, a house is labelled Forgney Old House (N205545) on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on later maps.
Newcastle House (Ballymahon) The extensive property at Newcastle was originally the seat of the Harman family, which came into the King family through marriage. In 1837 Lewis referred to it as the seat of the Dowager Countess of Ross. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s it was the seat of Laurence King-Harman and was valued at £90. In 1906 it was owned by Col. W.H. King-Harman. It remained in the family until the twentieth century when it was sold to an order of religious sisters. In the later 20th century and again more recently it has functioned as a hotel. A Center Parcs resort is now located in an area of the former demesne. Photo of Newcastle House (Ballymahon)

It was leased from the King Harman estate. This property was labelled Rathmore House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but a later house (Grid Reference N150546) carries this label on the 25-inch edition of the early twentieth century. The latter is still extant. Photo of Rathmore House (Ballymahon)
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)
Gortmore [Longfield] House (Ballymahon) Arthur H. Griffith was leasing this property from the King-Harman estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £41. The house shown on the 1st edition Ordnance survey map is labelled Longfield House. The expanded range of buildings at the site, shown on the 25-inch map of the early 20th century, is labelled Gortmore House. O'Brien writes that Arthur Hill Griffith built this house c.1840 but that the Griffith family moved to Australia in 1871. He also notes that the previous house, known as Longfield, had been occupied by members of the Langstaff family. In 1837 Lewis referred to Longfield as the seat of J. Langstaff. Gortmore is no longer extant.

Ballincurra House (Rathconrath) Benjamin Digby held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £23. The original Valuation Office books had valued the property at £25 in 1850, It had a similar valuation in 1906 when it was owned by William Benjamin Digby. It survived into the 20th century but is now a ruin.
Drumraney This property is described as “in chancery” at the time of Griffiths Valuation, though it was being leased by John Carney from the estate of Alicia O’Connor Malone. It was valued at £14. It is labelled as Drumraney House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838 but as “Constabulary barracks” on later edition maps. It is not extant now.
Shinglis House The 1906 Survey of Untenanted Demesnes indicates John Malone as the owner of a property at Shinglis, valued at almost £32. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map shows the ruins of Shinglis Court adjacent to this site but the 25-inch map labels Shinglis House a short distance to the north-east. O'Brien provides a detailed account of the evolution of the houses at this site, notably those occupied by the Malone family. He notes that Shinglis was demolished in the 1970s.
Newgrove [Badgersbridge House] (Ballymahon) This property was held in fee by Dillon Kelly at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at over £10. It is labelled Newgrove or Badgersbridge House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on subsequent maps.

Littletown House [Lodge] William Magill was leasing this property from Joseph Manly at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at almost £14. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map it appears to be located within the townland of Doonis but on the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century it seems to be within the townland of Cartroncroy. The house is labelled Littletown Lodge on the 1st edition map but as Littletown House on the 25-inch edition. It survived into the twentieth century but is no longer extant. In 1837 Lewis referred to Littleton Lodge as the seat of W. Lennox Napier. Another Littletown House is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map in the adjacent townland of Littletown [N096519] but this is described as 'in ruins' on the later map.

Noughaval House (Ballymahon) William Dawson was leasing this property from the King-Harman estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £13. Lewis also referred to it as his seat in 1837. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built in 1760. O'Brien notes that there is a family tradition that the roof had to be replaced in the nineteenth century having been damaged during ''the Night of the Big Wind'' in 1839. Noughaval is still extant and occupied. Photo of Noughaval House (Ballymahon)
Belmore Place At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s this property was held in fee by Robert W. Lowry, when it was valued at £16. It is labelled Belmore Place on all editions of the Ordnance Survey maps. O'Brien writes that the original house at this site had been occupied by Netterville Blake, who sold the property to Lowry in 1832. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the surviving farm complex was built c.1850. The house was demolished in the 20th century. Photo of Belmore Place
