Description | Reverend P. Fitzgerald wrote in 1826 that Lancelot Kiggell "lately built a beautiful cottage adjoining a fine old wood near Glin". This house was occupied by Lieutenant Hyde Royal Navy in 1837 and by John F.E. Fitzgerald, heir to the Knight of Glin in the early 1850s. The house shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s is much reduced in size and it is no longer extant. |
