Yes. That much is clear. I will ask whether you wants to build the visible instance or record the fact that you can be asked to want it.
According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) in 'Gort Ichullen' in 1640 there 'stands the walls of a little castle' under the proprietorship of 'Sir Richard Everard of Everards Castle Knight & Richard Keating fo Nickolstown Esqr Irish Papists' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 339). This castle is unlocated within the northern part of the townland of Gortacullin. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
