Place & story
An estate house and its mapped successor
Ticooly, also recorded as Tycooly, was an O’Kelly residence in Killosolan parish during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The University of Galway’s Landed Estates database places it in Ticooly (O’Kelly) townland and records its inclusion in the Clonbrock estate by Griffith’s Valuation, when the property was valued at £16. Its account distinguishes this residence from the Tycooly House marked on the 1890s twenty-five-inch Ordnance Survey map: that building occupied a slightly different site. The mapped house should therefore not automatically be treated as the same structure as the earlier residence. [2]
