Extant remains comprise the ruins of portion of a four-storey house of late 18th or early 19th-century date, incorporating 17th-century stonework in NE angle, especially in the lower courses. This may have been the site of a castle built by Captain Gerald Fleming in 1607 and lost during the Williamite wars. Depicted on the Down Survey (1656-8) map as a large castle with two entrance gates at Cabragh (25) accompanied by a small building, perhaps a mill, on the bank of the E-W River Lagan c. 200m to the N. For the Down Survey map see this web-page accessed on 12/04/2016. http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Clanchie&c=Cavan There are no visible remains of a mill building.
