Place & story
Two names for the house
Ballindoon House, also called Kingsborough House, lies in Kingsborough townland within Killadoon parish. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates Database dates it to around 1820 and records an earlier Kingsborough house on the site. John Gethin possessed the property at Griffith’s Valuation, when the house was valued at £20. In 1906 it belonged to Percy Gethin and carried a £22 valuation. These figures are valuations at different dates, rather than prices paid for the house. [2]
