The National Monuments Service's description
The castle and manor house (WX003-004----) of Ballynowe, which is probably Newtown, were owned by Mathew Forde in 1641, according to the Civil Survey (1654-56) (Smington 1953, 11). Mathew owned 600 acres in Inch parish at Ballynowe, Cullgrenie (Coolgreany) and the unknown Cullnesmuttane. The castle, if it is a distinct structure from the house, remains unlocated.
