Place & story
A house replaced on its site
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates survey places Knockmore House in Knockmore Eighter townland, Manulla parish. At Griffith’s Valuation Thomas Ormsby leased the property from Lord Kilmaine, with a valuation of £13. The university records the house as still ruinous in the 1980s, before demolition and the construction of a modern residence on its site. It distinguishes the old farm buildings, which it records as surviving, from the replaced house. [2]
