What is recorded here

Ballygarth Castle is a three-storey tower house on the Nanny Water in County Meath, recorded in 1640 when Lord Netterville of Ballygarth owned the surrounding parish. The Pepper family later held it for over three centuries, while a Georgian wing appeared in 1782 and a narrow entrance block linked the old and new parts early in the nineteenth century. It still stands as a private residence, carrying layers of defence, domestic comfort and continuous occupation.
