What is recorded here

Ballymacady Castle is a late tower house in South Tipperary, built around 14 by 11 metres from thick limestone rubble. It kept a guardroom, spiral stair, gun loops and a stone hinge above the door that may have dropped a murder-hole surprise on invaders. The land changed hands from Bourke to Sherlock, Ormond and Cantwell, while the castle kept its rare gable-shaped loop recesses on every wall. What is left still feels like a home that learned to watch the east road and answer violence with stone.

Ballymacady Castle is recorded as a castle in County Tipperary. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
