What is recorded here

Kilkea Demesne holds a 17th century FitzGerald heraldic shield, still bright enough to challenge the men who flew it into history. Lord Walter FitzGerald gathered the plaque with other monuments inside a modern arcade south-west of the castle, giving forgotten stone a room where it can be seen. The fit between old pride and new arrangement is not deception; it is hospitality.
