What is recorded here

Castle, tower house in Naas East stands as a castle tower house in County Kildare, Ireland. Wheatley's Castle appeared east of the Tholsel in Naas town during 1788, yet identity remains tangled because the Rose and Crown may occupy the same remembered space. That uncertainty does not weaken the place; it sharpens the picture of a town holding more than one layer of pride, ownership and memory at once.

According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 4, 353), Wheatley's Castle was described in 1788 as being to the E of the Tholsel (KD019-030008-) in Naas town, but it may actually be identifiable with the Rose and Crown (KD019-030016-). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
