What is recorded here

Drimnagh Castle is the only surviving Irish castle with a flooded moat, a rare feature that still catches the eye in County Dublin. The Barnewall family held the land from the thirteenth century, but the visible hall and tower belong to the fifteenth century. A dairy man named Joseph Hatch later restored the place for his family, turning a ruined lordly seat into a home for weddings and ordinary life before it passed to a school. That shift from noble defence to domestic warmth is what makes the castle memorable.
