What is recorded here

Carbury Castle stands as a ruined motte and bailey on a Kildare hilltop, built before 900 AD and rebuilt by John Talbot after 1429. Legend claims Cairbre served St Patrick a dead greyhound, but the saint’s blessing restored the dog to life. The Colley family later strengthened the site, producing ancestors of the Dukes of Wellington, while local memory still circles the boy chieftain and his impossible feast.
