What is recorded here

No visible surface remains of castle marked as 'in ruins' on map of 1777 (Healy 1988, 64) but shown as 'site of' on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Site now partially occupied by slurry pit; slight rise to W and slope down on S and W sides to stream. Nearby farm buildings built with stone from castle according to local information. Barry castle, held by branch of family descended from David fitz David Barry Roe (O Murchadha 1985, 30). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
