What is recorded here

Kill East, Kill West and Killhill still surround the lost castle of Thomas Hamlin, who died in 1629 with six messuages and one hundred and twenty acres. His tower house may have stood behind a field, a road or a house, invisible except in the shape of the place name.

According to Bradley et al (1986 vol. 3, 298), an inquisition of the holdings of Thomas Hamlin, who died in 1629, records that he held a castle, six messuages and one hundred and twenty acres in the vill of Kill. The precise location of the castle, possibly a tower house, is not known. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

Thomas Hamlin held a castle in the vill of Kill in the early 17th century, as recorded in an inquisition following his death in 1629. The site is remembered as part of the historical landholdings of the Hamlin family in the region.
