Situated at S end of low hillock overlooking Kilronan chapel (WM026-037001-) and graveyard (WM026-037003-) 225m to E. Standing Stone (WM026-036----) 125m to N, ringfort (WM026-038----) 320m to NNE, second ringfort (WM026-039----) 380m to ENE. Building stood in field approximately 3m E of the field fence running N-S that is shown on the 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map. No surface remains visible of 'Ruins' depicted in this field on Larkin's 1808 map of Co. Westmeath. This site was mistakenly identified as the site of 'Catherinestown Castle' (WM026-124----) and listed in the Westmeath RMP as a 'Castle site of'. The medieval castle of Catherinestown was located in the N quadrant of the townland close to the boundary with Burnellstown and Ardillon. The ruins of a building depicted in this field on Larkin's 1808 map of Westmeath could have been the remains of a pre-1700 house.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WM026-035
