On a map entitled ‘A Map of the Coal District near Killenaule’ by Patrick Leahy, 11th May 1824 [NLI 16.I.17 (1)] there is a house indicated as ‘Ho. in ruin’ at the location of Wilford Ho. on the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map, which has been renamed Shangarry House by the 2nd (1903-04) ed. A terrier to the Down Survey parish maps refers to only one house in the several townlands in the Mowny parish, ‘It Conteyneth these townlands following vizt Garrinoe Knockankitt Shangarry Dundrenane and Kilmoculmoge:- In which there is not any manner of improvement but two Cabins and one House’ (Petty 1655-6).

- TS055-079 Deer park
Description
Indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map as ‘Old Deer Park’ N of, and probably associated with Wilford House (TS055-078----).

The S boundary is a poorly preserved drystone wall (H 1m; Wth 0.5m) and the E boundary is formed by an earthen bank. The original deer park may have been larger, perhaps extending to the E and W.
