| Description | Quilca was associated with the Sheridan family. The Reverend Thomas Sheridan was a friend of Dean Swift. In 1725 the Dean wrote some of ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ while staying with the Sheridans at Quilca. In 1814 Robert Doughty was resident and the Reverend Luke O’Reilly in the 1830s. No occupant is given in Griffith’s Valuation when the building was described as a herd’s house and was valued at £5. Joseph Le Fanu was the immediate lessor. A mid-20th century house now occupies the site. |
