• MA109-017002 Burial ground
  Description

  In a rath (MA109-017001-). This is the private burial ground of the Lynch family of the nearby Partry House (MA109-0). Opened in 1823 the graves lie in two rows, within low enclosures of cut stone, each distinguished by a small headstone, bearing simply the name of its occupant. In 1854 a large stone pyramidal column of four sides was erected near the centre of the rath. On each face and base are carved particulars as to those members of the family whose remains lie near, many of whom had careers in the army and public service.

• MA109-033001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  The castle of ‘Cloynlaghen’ is recorded as in the possession of the Abbe MacEnville in the ‘Division of Connacht and Thomond of 1574’ (Knox 1908, 348) and is also mentioned in the Inquisitions for Co. Mayo (vol. 1, 55 cited on http://www.logainm.ie/en/35189?s=cloonlagheen, accessed 30 November 2015). The present Partry House, which incorporates elements of a late 17th century house (see MA109-033002-), would appear to stand on the site of this castle as during renovations undertaken post-1995 slit window loops were uncovered in the interior walls which were interpreted as belonging to the earlier ‘castle’ (Irish Times, 24 April 2014).

• MA109-033002 House - 17th century
  Description

  The present Partry House is a detached, five-bay, two-storey part double-pile house that is likely to incorporate an earlier house of late 17th century date. In 1667 Sir Henry Lynch of Castlecarra granted his mother the lands of Cloonlagheen in lieu of her dowry (Grimes 2007, 55), which lands were confirmed to him by letters patent in 1678 (Nicholls 1980, 177). These remained in the hands of his descendants (the Lynch/Blosse family) until the estate was sold in 1916 (http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie/LandedEstates/jsp/estate-show.jsp?id=458 (accessed 29 November 2015), the family retaining the house and adjoining property; these were sold in 1991 (Grimes 2007, 62). The house, built on a U-shaped plan, is largely of Georgian character (Bence Jones 1988, 231) and was extended chiefly in 1902 (east wing) and 1948 (west wing) (Grimes 2007, 61-2). Renovations undertaken in 1996 to the interior uncovered a number of slit window loops which were interpreted as belonging to the earlier tower-house or castle (MA109-033001-) (Grimes 2007, 56).
