Cooledera castle CCC 124
The site is past the village of Ballymacoda and down
the first road to the left, where after 200 yards one
comes to a ruined farmhouse on the left. the Mannings
were previous owners of the farm; Crottys the last residents.
The Mannings used the stones of the old castle to partly
build the farmhouse and also to build part of another farm
across the main road and up the hill at Churchland. Elsewhere
the old building is described as being a castellated mansion,
but the good coign stones at the sides of the door of the deserted
farm house, and the good carved half-arch which was lying in the
nearby bushes would indicate that the original building was of
much earlier vintage, and of the tower house type. The farmhouse
had probably been built on, or very near the castle site.

Pádraig Phiarais Cúndún, 1777-1856, le Risteárd Ó Foghludha
(Fiachra Éilgeach) Baile - átha Cliath : Oifig Díolta Foillseacháin
Rialtais 1932. [PPC]
Ar an tSeanachoill, i bparóiste Chill Modomhnóg (ina bhfuil Baile Mhacóda)
, in Uíbh Mac Coille, is eadh tháinig Pádraig Cúndúin ar an saol, i
mbliain 1777. Piaras do b'ainm dá athair, agus Pádraig Phiarais is
minicí thugtaí air féin. Insan ascall mara san atá taobh istigh de
Chnoc an Dúin agus d'Oileán na gCapall -insan chuid is iarthaí de
Chuan Eochaille - buaileann Abha na hUamanna le farraige ag Béal Tuinne.
Tamall beag suas an abhainn sin tá droichead nur ainm do Droichead an
Chrapáin - ní raibh acht áth le linn Phádraig Phiarais, ná abhfad
ina dhiaidh san. Tamall suas ón ndroichead san tá Caisleán Inse Uí
Chuinn, caisleán leis na Gearaltaigh mhóra, agus is ann do chomhnuigh
Tomás Maol, an dara iarla déag d'iarlaíbh Deasmhumhan, agus a bheanchéile,
Caitlín Nic Ghearailt ó Dhrom Anna, "an tsean-chonntaois." Idir
Dhroichead an Chrampáin agus Caisleán Inse Uí Chuinn, ar an dtaobh thiar
den abhainn is ea atá an talamh a bhí ag Pádraig Phiarais. PPC (1932), vii
