Castle in Walterstown

In tillage, on E-facing slope close to E shore of Great Islanf. No trace of castle or tower but part of bawn wall and corner tower survive. Rectangular area (c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) enclosed by high ivy-clad wall to W (H c.3m) with short right-angled return (L 9.5m) at N end to E; line of wall continues E as break in slope (H c. 0.7m). To E and S, area enclosed by low overgrown wall (H c. 1m). At S end of W wall part of ground floor of rectangular tower survives (6.2m N-S); projects c. 2m W from line of W wall; E side does not survive. No dateable features noted. Castle probably originally built by Barry family (Healy 1988, 157).
