What is recorded here

There is a castle indicated in Ballyconra townland on the Down Survey map (1655-8) as, 'a Castle in repair'. The Down Survey map (http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Galmoy&c=Kilkenny&p=Agharny) suggests that the castle may be in the field immediately NE of Ballyconra house. There is a reference to an older house (KK004-024001-) in the vicinity of Ballyconra House. The precise location of this castle within the townland is unknown.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
