What is recorded here

Ballymaddock holds a burial ground beside ruined monuments and a castle, marking death and memory across centuries. People may have prayed, fought, loved or fled near those stones, while the land kept their shapes and habits. The place still distinguishes residence, worship and loss, even when human names have thinned.

In the townland of Ballymaddock, in this parish, are the ruins of two distinct buildings, quite contiguous to each other; one is locally known as the Monastery, the other is the castle of Ballymaddock. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
