The details here are totally incorrect, The picture is not of Springfield House. The House was built in the early 1700's and was first occupied by the Backhouse family then the Gately family. The Gately family remained there until the late 1970's It has had 3 owners from the Gatelys. The 3rd owner and now occupier is a local buisness owner.
Cuiltyconeen House aka Springfield was built by Douglas Boyd in 1847. It had less than £3 valuation at the time of Griffith's Valuation in the mid-1850s.
The Boyd family held a small estate in the parish of Tumna, barony of Boyle.
At the time of the 1901 Census, Cuiltyconeen was the home of his son Douglas J. Boyd.
It was sold to the Molloy family in 1905 whose descendants continue to reside there.
