According to tradition, a castle named 'Caisleán Dhróilin' was located 'on the crest of a large limestone rock north-west of Shanbally Crossroads' (Healy 1988, 114). Healy suggests that stones from the castle were used in the construction of a nearby 19th-century limekiln (CO087-038----). There are no further references to a castle here (ibid.) and its existence is very doubtful.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
