Replaced motte (CW008-045002-) probably in thirteenth century. Dineley's sketch of c. 1680 shows castle with entrance between two rounded towers, possibly gatehouse similar to Ballyloughan (CW019-018----), with rectangular court and gabled house attached. No visible trace. (Bradley 1989, 68-9)
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
