Place & story
A replacement to the south-west
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record identifies Cragg with a branch of the Going family. Robert Going occupied the house in 1814 and 1837; after his death in 1838, his son John succeeded him. The account cites the 1840 Ordnance Survey Name Books describing the earlier house as deteriorating. A new house was built to its south-west around 1880. This later building should therefore be distinguished from the residence recorded for Robert Going, rather than treated as the same house with an unchanged location. [2]
