What is recorded here

Castle, unclassified stands in Ballyanne parish, County Wexford, close to the church. It appeared on the Down Survey maps of 1655-6, yet no further detail has emerged. The land may still hold the shape of its walls, waiting for someone to walk past the church and imagine what the castle defended.
