He was the son of Dr John Pigot and Margaret Nagle and married Catherine Paye [Page in DNB] of the nearby Araglin Mills. Th house was valued at £7.10 shillings in the early 1850s and was occupied by the Reverend James Daly, who held it from William Byrne. The Pigotts continued to own this property until at least the late 19th century. Occupied by the Howard family in the 20th century.

Park House A house marked on Taylor and Skinner's map and noted by Wilson as Ballingrane and occupied by Hennessy esq. It became the home of Arthur Norcott, fourth son of Hugh Norcott of Springfield who was married to Frances Roberts of Britfieldstown, county Cork. Local sources suggest it was purchased from the Hennessys by Norcott. It was valued at £30 in the mid 19th century and held from the Reverend Francis Stawell. Sold in the 1890s to Ted Cogan whose descendants were still resident in the early 21st century. Photo of Park House
Park Place At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Ambrose Bole was leasing Park Place from the Jessop estate, when it was valued at over £27. The National Built Heritage Service dates the remaining walled garden evidence to the late 18th century and suggests that Park Place was the residence of the Moffat family. The Ordnance Survey Name Books of the 1830s note that the demesne was “cultivated by Mr. Robinson, the County Treasurer”. This is likely to be John Robinson, who, according to the Valuation Office Books, was the occupier in 1839, when the house was valued at £16. Family history sources suggest Ambrose Bole was a land agent, who managed the estates of the King-Harman and Shuldham families during the second half of the 19th century. Park Place was demolished in the 20th century but some estate architecture remains. Photo of Park Place

Moynahan which was valued at £5 5s.
Parknasilla James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £10 to Christopher Bland at the time of Griffith’s Valuation.

Later still it became the forerunner of the Parknasilla hotel, in which grounds it is still located.

Partry House Bence-Jones describes the house, situated on the shore of Lough Carra, as Georgian with a Wyatt window above the porch.

It was the seat of the Lynch/Blosse Lynch family for three centuries. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was held in fee by Henry Lynch Blosse and valued at £14.
