Cormuck McEgan is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). Nineteenth-century house located on site of castle; possible portion of bawn wall attached to NW side of house with gun loop visible. It has been suggested that the E wall of the house represents the wall of the 17th century castle (Feehan 1987, SMR File). The house was described by Feehan in 1987 as following: 'The castle was partially knocked in the 1800's and the remainder was incorporated into the present two storey house with basement, which exists today. The original 8ft (2.4m) thick wall of the castle and the stairwell of the original spiral staircase are there, but not easily visible' (SMR file). The house was described by the NIAH as following: 'Detached five-bay two-storey house over basement with attic, largely built c.1650 and altered and extended c. 1780. Single-storey flat-roofed addition to rear. Pitched slate roof with skylights and three rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Timber sash windows with limestone sills, six-over-six pane to front with tw0-over-two pane to basement and variety of two-over-two, six-over-six, eight-over-eight and bull's eye windows to rear. Tripartite window to east gable and round-headed and two dormers with carved bargeboards to rear elevation. Cut stone doorcase with pilasters to front entrance having blind cobweb fanlight and limestone steps over basement. Single-storey outbuilding with double height space having pyramidal slate roof and with pitched slate roof to remaining bays.

According to Feehan (1987) there was a bullaun (diam. 0.4m) just out at the back of Ballynavin House of which 'it is said that if you have warts and dip them into the water in the centre of the bullan they will be cured'.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
