Place & story
Oak Mount and the Gillmans
Oak Mount in Cloonkirgeen belonged to James Gillman in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when its recorded valuation was £17 5s. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database also records Lewis’s 1837 reference to J. Gillman at the house, retaining that earlier initial. A 1944 tourist survey described Oakmount as a substantial farm dwelling. The database reports a house surviving at the site, without establishing that all its fabric dates from the earlier residence.
