Mmmm I think so.

This place was called Bogside. Their great grandson uses the house now as a stable.
I have been there.
Look for Cloughkeating House, which was a Castle up to 1835, when the Robinsons renovated the Castle into a House. Get the Ariel map, follow the fields going north. There is a group of trees this is Derrinleigh/lea it's the blob or dark shade in the trees, that is the house
On this map   
See where there is a Castle symbol by the road, that is  "A Hall House" not the castle.

The people that live there now, I know them, they asked me to find the history of the family, it came back to the family around the 1700's in Berwick on Tweed, they move to Knockshigowna, before 1750, where the big hill is with the Cross on the top which was built in 1951.
That area of Derrinleigh was where all my Kennedy's lived.  Merton Hall (the House) did have a family of Kennedy's in the 1950's to about 1990, these were not related as they moved there, not sure where from.
