Description Lackan house is marked but not named on the first edition OS map. It was a two-storey, three-bay house, the home of the Delamare family, long associated with the Multyfarnham area. The Taylor and Skinner maps of the late 1770s include reference to Delamar at Lacken. In 1837 Lackan was the seat of Mrs Delamere. It was unoccupied at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when valued at £17. The immediate lessor was Patrick J Murphy. A number of Delemere families were still resident in the townland in 1901. This house has been demolished.
