The Rahillys (later O'Rahillys) are thought to have moved to Ballylongford c.1809.
They lived in the old O'Rahilly house, Ballylongford.
They built the new O'Rahilly house, Ballylongford in 1874.
The family sold up and left Ballylongford in 1898.


The McEllistrems also had a house in Ballylongford.

The old mill



The old mill at the back of the O'Rahilly houses.
Apparently Richard Rahilly did NOT own the mill,
though he was described among many other occupations as a "miller".
He owned the block S of the mill, think including the building on RHS here.
