A man named Ryan - a grand nephew of the last Chichester now owns the house & lands.
About ½ mile north of Cartown House there lives a farmer named Flynn. Old Mrs Flynn aged 90 (since dead) told me the Flynns farm was owned by Plunketts.

The present dwelling is a substantially built slated farmhouse but it is old.
