Place & story
Ownership and an earlier house site
Dunlewy House stood in Dunlewy Far, within Tullaghobegly parish. University of Galway’s Landed Estates record identifies Jane Russell as its owner at Griffith’s Valuation, when the property was valued at over £22. By 1906 it belonged to Ellen Lingard Monk and was valued at £64. The record distinguishes this house from a smaller predecessor situated farther south, preserving an important distinction between two successive house sites. [2]
