Place & story

Turraghmore and Derryowen

Samuel Lewis recorded a well-attended fair at Turraghmore on 8 June in 1837, alongside fairs at Tubber on 12 July and 20 September. He described these fairs chiefly as cattle markets. Legal business had a different rhythm: petty sessions met at Derryowen every other week, while a court for the manor of Inchiquin met occasionally to recover small debts.^[2]
