"Belville House, the ancient seat of the Flemmings, is situated near the W. side of the townland but is at present going to ruins, the estate being involved in debt and present in chancery. There is likewise the ruins of a house on a hill at the E. side of the townland called Flemmings Folly which can be seen from all the surrounding country." [Desc. Rem.];
