Place & story
A residence held by lease
The University of Galway’s Landed Estates record identifies Kilgarriff House as the residence of Captain Davis in Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Henry Bence-Jones leased the property from the Reverend Henry Stewart, with the house valued at £24 10s. These references document occupancy and leasing rather than a construction date. [2]
