Place & story
Owners, tenants and a later survey
Castle Wrixon stands in Castlewrixon South, within Imphrick parish, according to the University of Galway’s Landed Estates Database. John Wrixon occupied the property in 1814. At Griffith’s Valuation, John Connor occupied it under Wills G. Crofts, with the buildings valued at £11. The distinction identifies Connor as the occupier and Crofts as the person from whom he held it. A later Irish Tourist Association survey recorded the McDermott family living there in the 1940s. These records document changing occupation, without treating each resident as the owner. [2]
