What is recorded here
An undated map of Rathsillagh (NLI Ms. 21.F. 35 (066)) includes the word 'castle' at the location of the present Rathsillagh House. A large two storied outbuilding (L 30m; Wth 15m) with substantial stone walls (av. T 1.5m), now used as a barn, may incorporate the remains of the castle (pers. comm. S. Hickey).
