What is recorded here

Ballintotis Castle rose in County Cork during the 15th century as an O'Farrell stronghold, using thick limestone walls and narrow arrow slits to watch the surrounding lands. It later passed through several hands after the Cromwellian conquest, suffering neglect before restoration helped preserve its medieval frame. The castle still stands as a quiet testimonial to O'Farrell ambition and Cork's changing power, inviting visitors to imagine the defenders who once lived inside its sturdy stones.
