In the list of castles in Galway, compiled in 1574, is one at 'Beallakerin', in the barony of Athenry, then in the posession of 'Shane Oge Fitz John Burke' (Nolan 1901, 121). This is probably a variation of the td. name Ballykeeran, which although in the neighbouring barony of Loughrea, lies close to the boundary with Athenry barony. Not located.
