| Description |
Bellmount or Belmont, Hallsfarm, is named on both the first edition six inch OS and the 25 inch maps. O’Brien describes it as a three-bay, two-storey house over a basement erected about 1825 by the Maguire family. In 1837 Barnard Maguire was resident. Ellen Maguire occupied the house at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when it was valued at £11.10 and held from Col William Hall. The censuses of 1901 and 1911 record Eugene Gannon, a 26 year old farmer, born in Argentina, as resident in a first class house while in 1911 Joseph Delaney, herdsman and family were in occupation. This house is still a family home. |
