House name Description
Vermount Also known as Munine or Moneen, the house was described as 'in ruins' on the Ordnance Survey 6 inch map (1932), following its burning in 1923. Extensive outbuildings are still in use and part of the yard is now a residence. McHale writes that this was, in fact, the original house. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests that the family occupied this building while Vermont House was being constructed. In 1786, Wilson refers to a house called "Munnine" as a seat of Mr. French. Photo of Vermount
Mounthazel Occupied by Catherine Mahon at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £45. Mounthazel may be the property referred to by Wilson in 1786 as Bunrea, the seat of Mr. Davies. Demolished in 1945 though traces of the walled garden remain. Photo of Mounthazel
Waterloo House In 1786, Wilson refers to a house in this area as Fair-Hill, the seat of Mr. French. Waterloo was the home of the Concannons from the 1820s to the early 20th century. It was held in fee by Edmund Concannon at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at over £20. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Waterloo House
