C18TH HOUSE on site of C17TH CASTLE in Ballymagarry

Ballymagarry still holds the ghost of a C17TH castle beneath an C18TH house, a layered trap where old stone and new brick compete for memory. The castle may have fallen, been forgotten or been buried under domestic pride, but the house stands as proof that people kept living above the danger. Neither structure belongs to one century alone. They belong to the same ground, waiting for a hand honest enough to touch both layers at once.
