What is recorded here
A 'castle or stone fortilace' is mentioned in inquisitions of 1584 and 1611 (Connellan 1962-3, 4). This is the fortified house built by Malby (RO039-061001-), and while there is no literary or physical evidence that a gatehouse was at this site it is very safe to presume that there was one on the wall of the bawn (RO039-061010-), probably on the S side.
