According to Lewis (1837) the O'Grady family built a very extensive castle at Kilballyowen which in 1837 wad described as having been 'incorporated with the modern dwelling-house, and contains four room in excellent order'.

A group of 'long cists' described by O’Kelly (1944, 23) as following; ‘These cists were first uncovered in the course of digging for sand. A rescue excavation was carried out (20) on behalf of the National Museum, when a total of about 8 burials was uncovered, some of which were unprotected skeletons. Others had been removed before the Excavator’s arrival and still others were left unexcavated. The bodies lay E-W with the heads to the W., and all were extended burials. There were no associated finds but in the vicinity of the graves a quern stone was found. It is probable that the graves belong to the Early Iron Age or to the Early Christian period (21).’ No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-13 or on Google earth orthoimages. The precise location of this cist cemetery has not been verified. The area presently marked as the location of the cist cemetery is adjacent to the carpark of the community centre/sports grounds.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
