    from very early times.
    Ballycogley was their chief
    residence, but they built
    other castles and houses
    when they spread their
    wings, like most of the
    Norman families.
    This castle is over
    70 feet high, with a look-out.
    Bishop Wadding born here -
    The Waddings also erected
    the castles of Ballyrane,
    Waddingsland, and Wadding's
    Castle in Wexford.
