What is recorded here
Castle stands in Cranalagh More, County Longford, recorded only as a tower house on an early 17th-century map of Ardagh barony. It may have watched a road, a field or a family claim, but no exact spot survives in the facts given. What is left is a shape on a map, waiting for the land to give it back.
Depicted as a tower house-type structure on an early 17th-century map of Ardagh barony (BL, Cotton MS Augustus I.ii.25). Its precise location has not been identified.
