Place & story

The Bodkin lease

At Griffith’s Valuation, John J. Bodkin leased a house and more than 600 acres at Pallas to Thomas O’Connor. The house itself was valued at £3. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates account suggests that a new house appeared after the first Ordnance Survey map; the later 25-inch mapping of the 1890s labels the property Pallas. This is the Fohanagh holding, distinct from the castle estate at Tynagh. [2]
