Burtonhill House (H1878) Weir writes that this house was probably built by the Carrigaholt Burtons as a sporting lodge. It is marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. The Burton Conynghams had a large estate in the parish of Killeely so there can be no doubt that the house was named after them. By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was valued at £11 and Edward H. Goggin was in residence. He held the property from Mrs Taylor. William B. Goggin of Burton Hill married Frances Maria Whitestone in the second half of the 19th century. see http://brew.clients.ch/RichardClare.htm	Burtonhill	Killeely	Limerick	Killeely 117	Bunratty Lower	Clare	Lat/Lon: 52.69093 -8.70257 OSI Ref: R525 602 Discovery map #58.
