What is recorded here

Ballymaquiff Castle is a four-storey Galway tower house recorded in 1574 as the stronghold of Redmund McHubert. Its lobby still carries a murder hole, and a hidden passage may continue through the vault arch into a chamber lost inside the wall. The castle does not need a heroic legend; it preserves the ordinary fear and pride of the people who built it to survive.
