Rushfield House

At the time of the first Ordnance Survey Mr. A. Irwin is noted as the occupier of one of two ''gentlemen's seats' at Tullyvohaun, barony of Boyle. In 1814 it was the residence of John Irwin. This property was valued at £8 and was occupied by William Phibbs at the time of Griffith's Valuation
In the Irish Census of 1901 Rushfield belonged to John McWilliam, a widower aged 65 with his son Johnston aged 30, his daughter in law Alice aged 25 and grandson John Alex, an infant .  John Mc William was born in England and in or around 1918 the Commons and Greham families bought the lands at Rushfield.

The Greham family are now in the third generation of ownership of Rushfield.
