What is recorded here
In 1616 Sir Charles Coote was granted 'the castle, town and lands of Ballymacgeraghty. The 'town' probably refers to the townland. Although there was undoubtedly settlement around the castle and a watermill, it did not consititute a town or borough. Its location cannot be definitively identified but it was probably close to the fortified house the Malby had built (RO039-061001-).
