Ballynahown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ballynahown is a village in County Westmeath on the N62 regional road in Ireland. It is 10km south of Athlone and 5km east of the River Shannon.

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]
