The National Monuments Service's description
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.
