What is recorded here
Ballyglass Castle reduced to a grassy mound seven metres long on a west-facing slope in Ballyglass Middle, County Galway, still overlookes the bogland its inhabitants once watched. Local story names Nuala na meadoige, mother of David Burke, as a former resident whose dagger-bearing reputation became notorious before the details faded. A holy well lies about 150 metres west, hinting that the place served both defence and devotion before its stones and timbers vanished.
