What is recorded here

Ballymalis Castle stands as a four-storey tower house on the north bank of the River Laune, built in the early 16th century by the Ó Muircheartaigh. The Ó Fearghuis later renovated it before the British Crown confiscated the manor in 1677 and granted it to Sir Francis Brewster. Its surviving alure and corner bartizans still outline the defensive shape of a home that changed hands across centuries of local power.
