Ballyhack, County Wexford
Ballyhack () is a small village located in the south-west of County Wexford, in Ireland, on the eastern shore of the Waterford Harbour, which is the estuary of The Three Sisters.
==History==
The village contains a 15th-century Norman castle or tower house, which belonged to the Knights Hospitallers and was built around 1480,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archiseek.com/2009/ballyhack-castle-co-wexford/ )〕 though it is thought the site's use was initially as a Preceptory, as far back as the 12th-century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.megalithicireland.com/Ballyhack%20Castle,%20Wexford.html )〕 The castle was occupied by Cromwellian forces during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, and was later used as a transportation point for those displaced by the Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652. It is from this association that the phrase "Go to Ballyhack" was coined.〔
The castle is open to the public, having been partially restored, and displays objects relating to the Crusades, the Normans, and medieval monks. Some the features of the castle that are on view are its dungeon, murder-hole, effigies and oratory.〔 The castle is an Irish National Monument, in state care, number 516.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archaeology.ie/sites/default/files/media/pdf/monuments-in-state-care-wexford.pdf )〕
