Description
Kilcolman is likely sacked and razed around this date. “Spenser and his family are reputed to have escaped through an underground passage known as the Fox hole, which led to caves north of the castle.” (CSPI 202.113; Maley, 73) [No such hole has been found by archaeologists]. A note from this date “lists the spoils committed by Onie O’More, James FitzThomas, and Captain Tyrell in the barony of Buttevant, immediately next to Spenser’s estate.” (Hadfield, 385)
