The National Monuments Service's description
A large property amounting to 1260 acres in Balliduffe, Ballinturnor, Monfine, Culcleirre & Tomgarrow was the inheritance of Breine McDnaiel O'Breine Lisagh McMorogho Breine and Sir Morgan Kavanagh in 1641 and on the property was a stone house, two mills and two weirs (Simington 1953, 278). The Down Survey (1656-58) barony map shows two houses on this property, one at the N which is at Mountfin (WX015-054----) and one at the S extremity which must be in Tomgarrow townland.
