| Description |
Umma or Emoe House is named on the first edition OS map. It was a Magan home from at least the early 18th century. Thomas Magan was resident in 1814. O’Brien writes that Francis Magan was the last family member to reside at Emoe. It was recorded as his seat in 1837. He died in 1841. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) James Hill Shaw held the house valued at £15 from George A Boyd. Another building with the same name is marked on the 25 inch map to the south east of the original house and is still extant (N198 453). This second house was built in 1900 (O’Brien) by the Shaw family. James Shaw of Ballymahon purchased the lands in 1875. Occupied by the Skelly family in the 20th century. |
