| Description |
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.
William Magill of Littleton, Ballymahon was recorded as the owner of over 350 acres in County Longford in the 1870s. |
