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
Cartron House (Ballymahon) At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Thomas Wright was leasing this property from the King Harman estate when it was valued at £10. In 1837 it was noted by Lewis as the seat of J. Wright. It is still extant. Photo of Cartron House (Ballymahon)
Rathmore House (Ballymahon) Robert C. Barbar was occupying this property, then valued at over £12, at the time of Griffiths Valuation. Lewis had also noted it as his seat in 1837. 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)
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.
Drumnacor House At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, John Bond held this property in fee when it was valued at £15. In 1837 Lewis had recorded Drumnacor as the residence of W. Sandys. In 1906 it was owned by John Bond’s representatives. The site is now occupied by a farmyard.
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.
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. William Magill of Littleton, Ballymahon was recorded as the owner of over 350 acres in County Longford in the 1870s.
Kilcornan Lodge (Ballymahon) Thomas Murray was leasing this property from Charles Edward Grogan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £14. In 1814 Leet referred to Kilcornan as the residence of Patrick McDermott. O'Brien details the various occupiers from 1785, the year from which he asserts the house dates. It is still extant.
Annaville House Francis Longworth was leasing this property from William Dawson at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £14 and included a mill. On the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century it is labelled Annaville House. A house is still extant at the site.
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)
