Place & story
A house recorded across a century
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record places Castle Waller in Kilnarath parish. Richard Waller occupied this family seat in 1814 and 1837, but the Ordnance Survey Name Books described it as uninhabited in 1840. Thomas Mullowney was the occupant at Griffith’s Valuation, when the buildings were valued at £17. William de Rythre, who married Blanche Waller, also lived there for a time in the 1850s. The survey records the building as ruined by the early twentieth century. [2]
