Place & story
A lodge below the mountains
Galtee Castle, also called Mountain Lodge, was built as a hunting lodge in the late eighteenth century. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates Database places it in Skeheenaranky townland within Templetenny parish, near the eastern bank of the Attychraan River and below the Galty Mountains’ southern slopes. James Law occupied it in the mid-nineteenth century and held the property in fee. [2]
Later occupants
The database records Nathaniel Buckley at the house in 1894 and Abel Buckley in 1906. It also states that the house no longer survives. These entries trace a former residence whose castle name should not obscure its recorded origins as a hunting lodge. [2]
