What is recorded here

Ballinvard Castle stands locked in a difficult field, its battlements broken when English soldiers left in 1650. Built for the O'Hurley family in the late 16th century, it lost its defences and became an ordinary gift to the Archbishop of Dublin. The tower still rises above Rossmore, waiting for someone brave enough to find the hidden entrance.
