What is recorded here
Castle (site of): In 1846, Fagan recorded the tradition that this castle was built by an Earl Baldwin of Co. Galway and subsequently came into the possession of Squire Hamilton, who died there in 1710. There was then no trace of this castle (Bk. 13, 15-16) and no visible remains survive today. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
