The Dartrey Estate or (Dawson Grove Estate) comprised the Dartrey Forest, which today largely covers the former demesne (or 'park') that surrounded Dartrey Castle (also known as Dartrey House or Dawson Grove), a neo-Elizabethan country house largely constructed in the 1840s. The house was demolished in the 1950s. All that remains of the estate are gatehouses, ruined Mausoleum and a stable block built on five sides of an octagon

The mansion was designed by William Burn, the famous British architect, for The 3rd Baron Cremorne (later created The 1st Earl of Dartrey). The house at Dartrey, Rockcorry, Co. Monaghan was built in 1846 for Richard Dawson, third Lord Cremorne and later first Earl Dartry.
