What is recorded here
Castle, unclassified in Carrigeen (gowran By.). Bone a Cushlawn still marks the lost building, though no wall or room remains for anyone to touch. The Cantwells held both place and castle before memory faded, suggesting a resident hand shaped the field rather than a passing trader.
According to Carrigan (1905, 273), in Carrigeen townland there is 'a field called Bone a' Cushlawn, or the Castle field, but the ancient building from which it is called has disappeared altogether. Both the townland and the Castle formerly belonged to the Cantwells'. The precise location of this monument is unknown.
