Description

164 acres at Cottage, owned by Sarah Helena Kelly, wife of Edmond Walter Kelly, were offered for sale in the Landed Estates court in June 1883. The Irish Times reported on a brisk discussion which took place during the sale. The Judge was about to declare the bidder of over £3000 the purchaser when the owner's solicitor sought an adjournment on the grounds that the bid was insufficient. The purchase on this lot was eventually complete but the sale of the second lot was adjourned.

Cottage (Dunkellin) (H612) In 1837 Lewis recorded Cottage as the seat of J. Ryan. Catherine Ryan was leasing the house from Randall Athy at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £17. The house at Cottage was part of the Athy estate which was sold in the Encumbered Estates court in July 1857. The new owners, John Edmond Crofton Kelly and Edmond Walker Kelly offered it for sale again in June 1866. At this time the house at Cottage was leased to the representatives of Thomas Redington for 21 years from 1856. By 1906 it was owned by Charles V. Pratt together with 150 acres of untenanted land. The ruins of the house and other buildings are visible at the site.	Cottage	Ballynacourty	Galway	Ballynacourty 53	Dunkellin	Galway	Lat/Lon: 53.23658 -8.94215 OSI Ref: M371211 Discovery map #46.
