Castlewaller - Ryan (Daddy) Castle

http://home.roadrunner.com/~hwaller/Castlewaller.htm

Here is a link to Castlewaller and information on the Waller family.

The lands in Cully were confiscated in the late 1700s and given to the Waller family after Cromwells incursion into ireland. Previously they were owned by the Ryan (Daddy) family (who in turn had taken the castle from the O'Heffernans in around 1300).

Im not going to comment on the rights and wrongs of the confiscation which is ancient history but the pictures of the castle are fascinating.

Some more information on the castle
