What is recorded here

Situated on a low-lying peninsula at the NW angle of Inchicronan Lough attached to the W shore. Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the RMP (1996). An overgrown bawn (72m NNE-SSW; 25m WNW-ESE) defined by a wall of uncoursed limestone with an external batter (Wth 1.4m; max. ext. H 3.6m at NW). There is a destroyed gateway (Wth 3m) at the N end of the W side with the base of inturned walls on each side (L 6m). There is a draw-bar socket (L 1.2m) on the NE side of the gateway. There is no clear evidence of the castle (CL026-018001-) but the bawn contains more recent buildings, including the foundations of a rectangular structure (int. dims. 11m NW-SE; 5.5m NE-SW) against the NW wall of the bawn, and a lime-kiln at the centre.
