McElroy – Francie

Believed to be Francie McElroy’s (Paddy Arts) homestead, Ballymcann (now site of home of Sean (Paddy Art ) McElroy.

Note the thatched roof which also suggests this did not fall under the landlordship of Brackenridge but Fardross.

Brackenridges houses (believed to be 17 of them) had slate roofs and were mostly in Corleaghan.
