What is recorded here
A house is depicted on the Down Survey barony map (1656-8) of Forth barony at Ballytory (19), but the castle (WX048-042----) is not. According to the terrier or commentary of the Down Survey parish map of Tacumshin in NLI (ms 725; microfilm P 7384; N 6380) there is a slate house at Ballytory, although the castle is not mentioned (Hore 1949, 28). If this is not the castle then its location is not known.
