What is recorded here

Castle, unclassified is a tower house with a castellated wall-walk in Culloge, County Longford. It appeared on the Down Survey map of Mastrim parish in 1655–6, when Hugh Farrell still held the lands. The castle may have been a home, a watch post or a small seat of local power. Its rooms are gone, but the wall-walk still suggests a place built to be seen and defended.

Depicted on the Down Survey (1655–6) map of Mastrim parish (NLI, MS 719) as a tower house with a castellated wall-walk; a higher building adjoins it on one side. The terrier of the map records that ‘There Stands a Castle in Cawloge’ and Hugh Farrell, an Irish papist, is listed as the owner of these lands. Compiled by: Patrick F.
