Description Marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map this house was occupied by William Nally at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held from the Lynch Blosses. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes its connections with P.W. Nally, a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and a well-known late nineteenth century athlete influential in the founding of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The house is now a ruin.
