Place & story
From the Keoghs to John McKay
Laurence Keogh and his wife Mary Fallon built Keoghville towards the end of the eighteenth century, according to the Landed Estates Database. The house stood in Carrowkeeran townland in Taghmaconnell parish. Ross Keogh lived there in 1837, but by Griffith’s Valuation John McKay held it in fee, with the house valued at £15. The database records its abandonment during the twentieth century and replacement by a bungalow. The sequence distinguishes the original house from a later dwelling on the site. [2]
