| Description |
George Gunn was leasing this property to Henry Hilliard at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £22 10s. Lewis recorded Tubrid as the seat of J. O'Connell.The Ordnance Survey Name Books indicate that this townland was owned by John O'Connell of Grenagh, Killarney and that John Sullivan of Tubrid was his agent in the 1830s. The house was occupied by Capt. Henry Hilliard at that time. In 1814, Leet noted the house as the seat of Townsend Gunn. Bary states that Tubrid House was built by the Crosbie family in the mid-eighteenth century and resided in by several generations of that family. The late eighteenth century owner, John G. Crosbie, was involved in a duel in which Sir Barry Denny was killed. A year later Crosbie himself died in mysterious circumstances. The house afterwards was owned by the Gunn and Hewson families. It is no longer extant. |
