What is recorded here

Situated towards the bottom of an E-facing slope with the meandering N-S Corock River c. 70m to the E. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Marcus Synnott owned the castle and bawn at Rosegarland, which were in good repair in 1640 (Simington 1953, 90). There is no evidence of a bawn associated with the tower house (WX040-042----), unless it is on the site of a small walled enclosure (dims. c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by masonry walls with brick crenellation that has the tower house at its NW angle.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX040-042001
