Castle

Castle, unclassified

What is recorded here

Castle in Buninna may be the lost earth and timber structure at Ballinphull, though no marker or clear ruin remains to prove the claim. O'Rorke wrote of a castle there in 1889, yet later survey work dismissed the entry as unlocated. The name still floats above County Sligo like a house memory, waiting for someone to point at the correct field or bank.
Classified in SMR (1989) manual as unlocated 'Castle'. Not included in RMP (1995). O'Rorke (1889, Vol II, 397-8) refers to a castle here. The precise location is unknown. This may be a reference to the earth and timber castle at Ballinphull (SL013-083----). Compiled by : Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 25 April 2013
