Home of more Plunketts, the Earls of Fingal. Arthur James Plunkett at home in 1911 in Killeen castle with his wife, daughter, 12 servants, one visitor and the visitors valet. Housekeeper, Butler, Cook, Lady's maid, two footmen, three housemaids, a kitchen and a scullery maid plus a chauffeur. All very Downton Abbey. Only 2.5 km from Dunsany Castle as the crow flies.

Per wikipedia, the castle had a rough time after this date: The 12th Earl of Fingall (1896-1984), the last to hold the earldom, sold Killeen Castle and its remaining estate in 1951, to Sir Victor Sassoon... In 1953, the Earl and Countess moved to a modern house built on the lands, and most of the house contents were sold.... Sassoon died in 1961 and his heirs sold the estate on in 1963, to French art dealer and major racehorse owner, Daniel Wildenstein... In 1978, the castle and estate were sold to advertiser Basil Brindley, who continued the stud farm operation. On 16 May 1981, the castle was burnt out in an arson attack, being left abandoned for many years... In 1989, a new development plan was proposed ... including the conversion of the castle into a high-end hotel, the installation of a championship standard golf course... The 18-hole championship course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2008

The vegetation could do with a trim too!

The Trim Limerick

There once was a castle in Trim
Where happened some stories so grim
If those walls could speak
They surely would shriek
About dastardly deeds distant and dim.

Netterville was built in 1877, as an almshouse, according to the NIAH.
Carol Maddock said:
Tenders were invited for the building of the Almshouses at the start of January 1877. The drawings and specs were available for prospective builders to inspect at the architect’s office - George Coppinger Ashlin, 90 Stephen’s Green, Dublin. Sealed tenders had to be forwarded to Mr Ashlin by 22 January. Builders were warned that the lowest tender might not necessarily be accepted, and they had to prove they were financially solvent. (Freeman’s Journal, 6 January 1877) We've met Mr Ashlin's work before...
