Place & story
A house built around earlier fabric
Curraghmore House incorporates a medieval tower within a later Classical residence. The architectural inventory dates its principal eighteenth-century phase to about 1755, with further alterations around 1785 and 1875. The tower remains central to the entrance front, while long stable ranges and curved screen walls enclose the forecourt. [2]
Catherine’s shell house and Wyatt’s rooms
Catherine de la Poer married Sir Marcus Beresford in 1717. The estate’s own history credits her with remodelling the house and grounds; its gardens account dates her Shell House to 1754. James Wyatt designed a later phase of interiors in the late eighteenth century. These are successive contributions to an estate developed over generations. [3] [4]
The townland’s residents
The 1911 census counted 117 inhabitants in Curraghmore, sixty-eight male and forty-nine female, in twenty-six occupied houses. Its population had been 113 in 1891 and 115 in 1901. The return places the townland in Clonagam parish, Upperthird barony and Portlaw electoral division. [5]
