Description Laputa was occupied by Robert Johnstone at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when he was leasing it from the Conolly estate. It was then valued at £30. In 1837 Lewis had recorded it as the seat of J.F. Johnstone. It was one of a number of properties demolished in the mid-1940s when several townlands were inundated as part of the Erne Hydro-Electric scheme.
