House name Description
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. There is a ruin at the site.
Mount Jessop In 1837 Lewis referred to Mount Jessop as the seat of F. Jessop. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was leased by the representatives of Thomas Conroy to Henry Crawford, when it was valued at almost £19. 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
