Turret House Farm, Ballygorhan,Cork

Hi Volunteers, i am researching my Gilbert part of my ancestors. so my furtherest starting point is with Harriet Ann Holmes who was the daughter of Robert Holmes and SarahLlitchfield. they lived in Shanbally

Townland on a farm where the house is marked Shanbally House not far from Burncout and Clogheen.

Harriet Ann married Mark Hart Gilbert. This was in 1858. i have just been ading details to a file and i noticed that mark and harriet are said to be living at Turret house farm.

Now this has become more important because i have been working through the grandchildren of this couple particularly those of Robert Frederick gilbert. to Emily gilbert is on he marriage also from Turret house . Others of the children are also said to be living there as well.

i have been able to get from the landed estate drone photos off Google and basic information about the house and it's owners. but i would really like to get a photo from ground level and to know which of the buildings is the home /house. It is quote a large complex . It's in the Demense of the Blarney Castle Estate.

Anyone any ideas on how to acquire such a photo/image or what ever. Being on the Google Search makes me pretty certain that the place still exists.

Thanks in advance for anything one might find.

Regards, MotherBear41 from Australia

I found this listing for Turret Farm on the internet. It has a picture of a house. Maybe what you are looking for. I am providing this link but I am not sure who is posting this listing. Part of the link includes the word tricket.

Unique and impressive detached home
