BALLYCONNOR CASTLE, PARISH OF KILRANE

'On page 137 of the Fifth Volume of Hore's " History of the 
County Wexford," is the following note:-

'Ballyconnor is close to the sea, in the Barony of Forth. 
HAMMOND STAFFORD, of the fifth generation, who married a 
daughter of FitzHenry, of Kilcavan, left a son DENIS, who 
built the castle which still stands, as is shown by a stone 
in the wall above the door of the principal apartment, 
bearing this inscription':- DIONISIYS STAFFORD DE BALICONOR, 
ET KATERINE SINOT VXOR EIVS 1570 STRVXERVNT HANC DOMV
