What is recorded here
Ordnance Survey maps never marked the castle, though Downe recorded it in Ballinphull. It may have been a tower house, a boundary marker or a mistake born of distance. That absence makes the place harder to dismiss, because forgetting is common while fabrication is rare.
A 'Castle' is marked in this area on the Downe Survey map. Not marked on any ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The exact location is unknown.
