Baile ui Maolluaigh: The Homestead of Maloo, or Mo-lua.
For further reading, we recommend a fantastic book published in 2016 ‘Ballymaloe, The History of a Place and its People’ by historian and dear friend of the Allen family Jane Hayter-Hames. This summary of the Ballymaloe Castle history has been sourced from a 1988 publication by James. N Healy called The Castles of County Cork.
