What is recorded here

Killeenbrack Castle stands as a four-storey limestone tower in County Westmeath, marked on the 1654-7 Down Survey map as the property of Arthur Nangle. Gun loops flank its north and west windows, while a diamond-shaped chimney stack still rises above the roofline to mark the rooms where fire once warmed the upper floors. The surviving southwest corner of its large bawn, complete with a circular flanker tower, hints at the dense defensive network that once stretched across these pastoral fields.
