In 1786 Wilson mentions Fagha as the seat of Mr. Falvey. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Daniel Buckley was leasing this property from John Morrogh Bernard, when it was valued at £3 10s. In 1906 Bertram Morrogh Bernard owned this property, then valued at £25. A house built n the later nineteenth century, it is labelled Fahagh Court on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it had been extensively reconstructed and modernised and "bears little resemblance to the historic residence of the Morrogh-Bernards and before them the O'Flavey clan". It was then occupied by the Reynolds family. Bary states that the property became a hotel in the twentieth century before being damaged by fire. The extensive yard complex has now become the Killarney Country Club and holiday accommodation. |

Lewis gives J. O'Leary as the proprietor of Currymount in 1837. By the time of Griffith's Valuation Currymount was held by Alexander McCarthy in fee and was valued at £7.10 shillings. Hajba writes that Alexander McCarthy left Currymount to his brother-in-law, James Morrogh, third son of James Morrogh of the city of Cork. The house was considerably extended post Griffith's Valuation. James McCarthy of Currymount owned 259 acres in the 1870s. In the late 19th century Eustace Morrogh Bernard lived at Curraghmore. Bought by the Purcells of Burton Park in the second decade of the 20th century as a dower house and passed by marriage to the Bird family. The Irish Tourist Association Survey refers to it as the seat of Major Bird in the 1940s and also that the Morrogh-Bernard family resided here before going to live at Byblox. |

Byblox
(H3246)
Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland (1904) traces the Ross family of Dunmoyle from the Mann family of Byblox in the first half of the 18th century. Hajba writes that the original house was occupied by the Langley family in the 18th century. At the end of that century Roger Langley leased Byblox to Robert Fennel Crone who built a new house to replace the original which had been accidentally burnt. It was valued at £70 in the mid 19th century. The descendants of Robert F. Crone, including members of the Croker family, inhabited this six bay, three-storied house until the beginning of the 20th century when it was bought by the Morrogh Bernards. In the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association Survey noted that the house was then in the possession of Mrs. Drake Brockman but it was unoccupied with John Roche acting as agent. Byblox was demolished in the 1960s. |
