What is recorded here

Kilbreedy Castle was the O'Phelan stronghold on a low Laois ridge, holding its ground until the mid-seventeenth century. Its massive limestone walls hid straight stairways and long passages, forcing invaders through chambers designed to confuse as much as resist. The broken eastern entrance still faces the land where the family lived, fought and forgot the shape of their own days.

Kilbreedy Castle is recorded as a castle in County Laois. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.

Kilbreedy Castle was built by the Butler family, Earls of Ormond, in the 15th century. It is remembered as part of the extensive network of strongholds that controlled the midlands during the late medieval period.
