Castle (in Ruins)

Situated on a slight E-facing slope c. 120m from the N-S Owenduff/Corrock river. The S gable (L at least 6.1m; H c. 7m) of a house with an attic light and the remains of a machicolation at the roof level of the SW angle. The gable is 106m S of the S wall of the Black Castle (WX045-012001-), which had a building attached on its S side. However, a remote sensing survey in the intervening area, conducted to determine if there was a connecting street of houses, was inconclusive, although some indications of floors and wall collapse where encountered (Byrne 1994-5, 72). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 22 July 2013
