My cousin Kathleen arrived with her boyfriend to collect me from Gortnor Abbey and we drove out to the farm. Kathleen had brought a pair of wellington boots for me to wear and after her boyfriend dropped us off we splashed through a bog and rowed across the Owenmore river then climbed a slope to the house. There were stepping stones which she had scrubbed especially for my visit so they wouldn&#8217;t be slippery, but it had rained in the night and the river had come up over them. At the time I thought this was the only way to get to the farm but I found out fairly recently that there was a bridge somewhere further along the valley. There was no electricity or toilet and as I remember it the cooking was done in this fireplace.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Carolan-Kilsallagh-2.jpg\"  rel=\"lightbox[roadtrip]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2352\" title=\"Carolan - Kilsallagh 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Carolan-Kilsallagh-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Carolan-Kilsallagh-2.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Carolan-Kilsallagh-2-300x94.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the time of my visit Kilsallagh was the home of John Carolan and his wife Kate.

The information I have is that the farm was sold sometime after John&#8217;s death and was eventually planted up as forestry land.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Carolan-Kilsallagh-3.jpg\"  rel=\"lightbox[roadtrip]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2353\" title=\"Carolan - Kilsallagh 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Carolan-Kilsallagh-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Carolan-Kilsallagh-3.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.engrailed.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Carolan-Kilsallagh-3-300x99.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fireplace at Kilsallagh, County Mayo.
