Place & story

Dysart House

The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record dates Dysart House to about 1757 and associates it with the Ogle family. It identifies Nicholas Ogle as resident in 1814 and 1837, and Henry Ogle as the occupant at the 1854 valuation, when the house was valued at £25. The record places the house in Killulagh parish and Bracklin electoral division. [2]

Four inhabitants in 1911

Dysart had four inhabitants in 1911, one male and three female, in one occupied house. Its population had been eleven in 1891 and seven in 1901, with two houses at both earlier censuses. The table places it in Killulagh parish, Delvin barony and Bracklin electoral division, within Delvin dispensary district and Poor Law Union. Its recorded area was 167 acres and seven perches. [3]
