Place & story
An agent, a family home and a tenancy
Corbally House stands in the townland of Corbally within Kilcooley parish, according to the University of Galway’s Landed Estates Database. It records an agent named Patt Dunn living at Corbally in 1749, followed by members of the Plunkett family in the early nineteenth century. At Griffith’s Valuation, William Phibbs occupied the property, holding it from John Egan. The recorded £8 figure was its valuation, rather than a stated annual rent. [2]
