Brockagh Castle (WM012-173----) situated on a low natural hill which forms part of a long N-S ridge, in undulating grassland, with good views in all directions. On the revised 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map Brockagh Castle is shown as standing in the centre of sub-circular shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 58m NW-SE; 45m NE-SW) which is not depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. The outline of this enclosure is clearly visible on aerial photograph taken 1971 (CUCAP BGH102). This enclosure seems to be of a later date than the castle and was probably built when the trees were planted. The land was formerly part of the Ballynagall Estate and the enclosure was probably a small tree plantation as shown on the revised 1911 ed. OS 25-inch map.
