Beacon Lough

Beacon Lough farm is shown on Bell's map of 1835 and on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map as three ranges of buildings arranged around a courtyard open to the east, with a gingang on the exterior of the north range. Another large building appearing on later maps as a house is shown to the southeast, and to the south of this, a walled garden (HER19153). Further buildings were added in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The walled garden and the presence of a tree mound (HER19151) in a field to the southeast suggest a grander establishment than a working farm.
The farm survived until the mid 20th century but was demolished for the construction of Beacon Lough East Estate (HER9756) in the 1960s.
