What is recorded here

The Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Shillelogher, Co. Kilkenny (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin) depicts a large building, which appears to be a house, in the S portion of the 17th-century townland of 'Killbracan' which equates with the modern townland of Kilbrickan. Another building, drawn as a castle (KK026-026----), is depicted N of it. The house is shown on the N bank of the Kings River. Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 335) refers to, 'a castle here, close to the King's River, in a field called Srawdh-a-tee-moozh [Stáid an tí mhóir], or Street of the Big House'. The precise location of the house is unknown within the S portion of Kilbrickan townland. See attached: KK026-027----_01 extract from Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Shillelogher, Co.
