Tomaltach Mac Tadhg Mac Rory Og (died 1566), uncle of Brian of the Carrick (Chief of Moylurg 1585-92), had numerous sons who received pardons which described them as 'of Croghan' and are mentioned in the Composition Book of Connaught, dated 1585, as of Croghan. Tomaltach Mac Tomaltach (died 1590) had 15 quarters (about 3000 acres) at Croghan at the time of his death. None of these references mention a castle, but Tomaltach's son, Tomaltach Og, had 9.5 quarters in 1617, largely around Drumharlow, and also possessed Carigoreran Castle, which is not identified but it may have been where Croghan House was later built. (Mac Dermot 1996, 454-5)
