From Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837:
| “ | It was for more than nine centuries the residence of the Malone family, whose ancient mansion, built on the site of an old castle and now unoccupied, is the principal object of interest. The estate, together with the old family mansion, called Ballynahown House, has at length passed into other hands. Here is a constabulary police station. - Ref [1] | ” |
