No visible surface trace of castle; area now occupied by Dairygold industrial complex. Castle of the Fitzgibbons, commonly known as the White Knights (Healy 1988, 422). Smith (1750, vol. 1, 346), in describing the later house (14918), noted nearby '...walls of a castle which belonged to the white knight and was a fine old building, but destroyed in the wars of 1641'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
