Garbally Castle, in the
parish of Skehana, County Galway, was a 15th century tower
house of the O'Kelly clan.
It was build in 1499 by
Malachy O'Kelly, later demolished by the troops of Oliver
Cromwell and never repaired after that.
Initially the castle was
destroyed by
MacWilliam De Burgo in 1504, however Samuel
Lewis 1832 notes that it was "partially destroyed by
Cromwell" along with the nearby castle of Clooncureen in the
17th century.
