What is recorded here
No wall, castle or stone remains visible at Ballydavid. What is called a castle may be only a name preserved long after the shape was forgotten. The absence is the proof: the land kept the claim but lost the boundary.
No surface remains visible, there is no cartographical or documentary evidence to support any evidence for a bawn wall.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
