Place & story
A house in the valuation records
Cloon House in Kilbeacanty parish was recorded as B. Eyre’s seat in 1814. Samuel Lewis named Burke Eyre as its resident in 1837. By Griffith’s Valuation, Henry Lahiff occupied the house, valued at £15, according to the Landed Estates Database. These entries establish three dated associations with the property; they do not establish a construction date or explain how the house passed between the Eyres and Lahiffs. [2]
