What is recorded here

Kilfaughny Castle still stands beside its bawn on a low Westmeath rise, preserving the rectangular shape marked as a fortified wall on the 1837 survey. The pasture stretches around them, giving the place an exposed, watchful character. Whatever lived inside that boundary has stopped answering, but the shape of the arrangement remains visible in the land.

Situated on a low rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. A roughly rectangular-shaped enclosure to the immediate SW of Kilfaughny Castle (WM022-007----) which is defined by a scarp (approx. L 15m) running N-S along the W side. Annotated ‘Fortified Wall’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map where Kilfaughny Castle is shown as a rectangular-shaped ruin standing inside a rectangular shaped earthwork with ‘fortified wall’ to SW side and a larger rectangular-shaped earthwork to S.
