According to the NUI Galway database in 1749, Bishop Edward Synge created the Census of Elphin, this recorded Edumund Kelly as Resident at Enfield. (According to ‘Irelandxo Reaching out’ website he was a protestant Bishop). One of the first suggestions of the size and value of Enfield House is seen in a newspaper notice in the 1750s by Edmund Kelly of the local Cargins Estate. It was advertised for letting purposes. The property included two coach houses, a pigeon house, a planted garden with fruit, convenient offices and available land of 100 and 200 acres. The house comprised of a basement along with two stories above ground level. A servant house was also on site. The building were of English architectural design with running water.
