What is recorded here
According to Davies (1948a, 108) a plantation castle with a bawn and two flankers was built by William Hamilton on a low hill W of Skeagh Lough Lower and immediately SE of a 19th-century house and farmyard. The two flankers were incorporated into the farmyard structures, but these had been removed (ibid.). No features are visible now at ground level.
