Tottenham Green

Located on a gentle S-facing slope. The castle of Ballinloskran (WX036-054----) may have been located where Tottenhamgreen House was built c. 1700. Ballinloskran is thought to be Tottenhamgreen now as it is described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as being between the Corrock River (river of Pill), Shanowle and Horetown (Simington 1953, 87). A grant of 478 acres in Ballyloskan was made in 1667 to a Charles Collins, who subsequently sold it to John Tottenham of Ballyduff, Co. Waterford (Jeffrey 1979, 95). The house at Tottenhamgreen was a five-bay one story over a high basement and attic house with a large pediment on the entrance front. A wing was added to one end in the same style c. 1712. The house was demolished c. 1950. (Bence-Jones 1978, 274-5) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 8 November, 2012
