Mountsilk This property was held in fee by Michael O'Kelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6. A later house seems to have been constructed by the time the 25-inch Ordnance map was published in the 1890s. This house is no longer extant though a farm still exists at Mount Silk.
