| Description |
In 1814, Charles Veaitch was the resident at Gortin-ardrass. This house is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). Although having advertised Gartinardress for sale in 1850 William Young was the owner and occupier at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when the property was valued at £15 for rates. By the early 20th century the Armstrong family were occupying Gartinardress, although in 1906 William A. K. Young is recorded as occupier of 228 acres of untenanted land and the mansion house. This house is no longer extant and the site is part of a forestry area. A house known as Lakeville was also located in the townland of Gartinardress. Leases in the National Library record Lakeville as the home of Richard Young in the 1820s. It was described as ‘in ruins’ on the 25 inch map. |
