Ballymalis Castle

This castle was built in the early 16th century by the Ó Muircheartaigh (O'Moriartys).^[7] It later passed to the Ó Fearghuis (Ferrises), who renovated it in the late 16th century. In 1677 the manor was confiscated by the British Crown and granted to Sir Francis Brewster,^[8] who granted it to the Eager (Eagar) family.^[9][10]

This is a tower house, partially restored. It is rectangular, with four storeys and an attic, with bartizans in the southwest and northeast corners. Also featured are slopstones, a machicolation, chimneys, fireplaces and decorated windows with mullions and transoms. Some of the alure (wall-walk) survives.^[11]
