- RO032-054: House - 17th/18th century, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO032-054----. Traditionally associated with the Lynch family who were merchants from Galway city, and possibly built c. 1710 (Timoney 1996, 12). Situated on a shelf of a S-facing slope. This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 19.7m N-S; 9.35m E-W) of two storeys and attic with good quoins, but only the N and S gables with large chimney-stacks survive complete, and fragments of the other walls (T 0.7m). The doorway at the centre of the E wall is in a slight two-storey projection (dims 4.4m x 0.9m) with a large round-headed window over. There are gun-loops in the N and S walls of the door projection. The ground floor had a central E-W corridor, and four rooms which had brick firplaces in the internal angles with the gables. The S chimney stack is completed in brick. One room has a slop-stone. Two-storey wings which do not communicate directly with the original house were added to the N and S, but these have largely been removed. (Craig 1982, 134) See the attached image taken from the NE.

Marked as a circular wood on the 1837 and 1928 (diam. c. 50m) eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a shelf of a S-facing slope. Oval hillock (dims 56.6m N-S; 42m E-W; H 1.8-2.3m generally to 4.2m at S) defined by a drystone wall at its base. The trees have been cut. This is a natural feature planted as a tree-ring in full view of Lowberry House (RO032-054----) c. 230m to the NNW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

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.
