Description Burton Persse was leasing this house to Rev. Robert Graham at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In the nineteenth century, the house was used as the residence of the incumbent at Bookeen Church. It was later purchased by the Aitken family who had served as Land Agents for the Clancarty estate at Coorheen, outside Loughrea. The house has been renovated and is extant and occupied.
