A house is marked on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map of Shelborne in NLI (ms 725; microfilm (P 7384; N 6380) at Lambstown, but only a stone house at Graigue Great (WX050-016----) is recorded in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1953, 170). According to the same source James Lewes owned 120 acres at Lambstown, which the terrier or commentary of the map records as 130 acres. The Hook section of this map is published (Colfer 2004, 102, Fig. 17), but the precise location of the house is not known.
