Place & story
A house with changing map labels
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates Database identifies Castle Eyre and Listarkin as the same property in Listarkin townland, Myross parish. The first-edition Ordnance Survey map labels it Castle Eyre, while the twenty-five-inch map of the 1890s uses Listarkin. At Griffith’s Valuation Colonel W. French leased it to William Lowth, and its recorded valuation was £9 15s. The different map names do not by themselves establish a replacement building. [2]
