Due to Covid 19 restrictions, tours to Seán MacDiarmada’s cottage must be made through Kiltyclogher Heritage Centre and is to the exterior of the building.
We house an exhibition about the 1916 Proclamation signatory Seán MacDiarmada. The exhibition contains an audio-visual facility and interpretive panels, providing visitors with information about Seán MacDiarmada and the history of the locality.
Seán MacDiarmada’s family cottage is only a few kilometres outside the village in Corranmore.The cottage is a designated National Monument owned and maintained in its original condition by the Office of Public Works. It is of considerable historic importance as it is a fine example of a traditional Irish cottage and gives an insight into what life may have been like 100 years ago.

Spring is Coming and St. Bríd will help the world renew itself.![]()
Everyday is a little brighter.
The cottage is currently being thatched by the OPW and we hope to have an update from the OPW when the public can view the new roof.😀☘
Benny Clancy may he rest in peace is the wonderful artist who created this stunning portrait of Seán Mac Diarmada.![]()
It is very symbolic that it should arrive at the Centre on the 27th January being Seán's Birthday. It has been kept in the care of Thomas Kelly Kinlough and the portrait is over 40 years old. We are delighted and honoured to house the piece at our heritage centre in Kiltyclogher. Thank you so much Phil Clancy for donating your late husbands work. We will have to find a proper glass frame and find a safe place to hang this precious jewel on our wall.

Our last act of 2021 was to place. This beautiful wreath donated by Cambodian National Aya Chantyou at the monument of Kiltyclogher's beloved son and national hero Seán Mc Diarmada. We wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and every happiness in 2022. We look forward to welcoming visitors to Kiltyclogher when we reopen on January 10th. ![]()
