What is recorded here

Mogeely Castle stands on the River Bride flood plain in County Cork, its 46-metre square bawn now crowded with farm sheds and abandoned buildings. Western and northern walls still rise 4 to 5 metres, preserving a 17-by-10-metre hall corner and a vaulted chamber with a garderobe chute. The stones record Desmond ownership, Walter Raleigh plantation, Sir William St Leger residence and the 1645 Castlehaven bombardment that ended its martial purpose.
