What is recorded here

Galbally, County Wexford, may hold a castle granted to Thomas Cantwell in the early 17th century, yet even that claim is uncertain because more than one place shares the name. The true building may still stand buried under bracken, forgotten by every person who has ever lived beside it.
According to Jeffrey (1979, 204) there is a reference to the grant of a castle at Galbally to Thomas Cantwell in the early 17th century, but it is not certain which Galbally is referred to, and it is otherwise unknown. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 August, 2012
Built by or granted to Thomas Cantwell in the early 17th century, though its exact location remains uncertain. Its significance lies in its mention in historical land grants, reflecting English colonial activity in Ireland during that period.
