Place & story
A house in Dungummin Upper
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record places Dungummin House in Dungummin Upper townland, Kilbride parish, County Cavan. It appears with a small demesne on the Ordnance Survey map published in 1837. An earlier directory recorded John Ingham of Dungimmon, Mount Nugent, in 1814. Griffith’s Valuation subsequently listed Joseph Lynch as occupier, holding the property from Thomas Whitney. It was described as a herd’s house, valued at £12 10s. This was a valuation figure, rather than a recorded purchase price. [2]
