Place & story
Dalton’s warehouses and Carra Castle
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 Kilbeagh account names G. Dalton as the resident of Carra Castle and records his large warehouses holding iron, timber and other goods. A manorial court met monthly at Carra Castle. Lewis described the wider parish as extending from Costello in Mayo into Leyny in Sligo. The entry therefore records commerce and local jurisdiction within a historical parish crossing the county boundary. [2]
