Place & story
A house on the woodland’s edge
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database places Toureen Wood House in Killardry parish, on the northern edge of Toureen wood. It identifies Philip Maguire as its resident in the later nineteenth century. An 1875 sale rental described a dwelling with two reception rooms, seven bedrooms, a large kitchen, a storeroom, a dairy and pantries. The property was then in the owner’s possession. The database places the house near a building labelled Maguire’s Castle on the first-edition Ordnance Survey map, distinguishing their sites. [2]
