Place & story
Blackmore’s residence
Kilshane Cottage was Captain Blackmore’s residence in 1837. The University of Galway’s estate database also cites an Ordnance Survey description of it in excellent repair in 1840. In the middle of the nineteenth century, Henry Blackmore occupied the house, holding it from Simon Lowe; it was valued at £11. This was an assessed valuation, rather than a purchase price. The database identifies Arraghslea as the house’s later name. [2]
