What is recorded here

Tanrego West holds a well-preserved bawn and a late 16th or early 17th century house, though the castle itself has vanished from sight. O'Rorke wrote in 1890 that both remained in fair preservation, suggesting the castle may have been buried, broken or simply forgotten before modern eyes reached it. The bawn still marks the shape of a household that lived, worked and defended itself in County Sligo.

O'Rorke (1890, 392) referred to 'an old castle and bawn, in fair preservation…in Tanrego'. There are no upstanding remains of the castle visible. However the bawn (SL019-062002-) is well preserved. There is a house (SL019-062003-) of late 16th/early 17th century date c. 25m N of the bawn. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
