Courtmacsherry was built as the seat of the Gookin family, held by Robert Gookin in the early 19th century. It is remembered for its described defensive features, including walls and turrets, though no physical remains are visible today.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
