This record refers to a castle which pre-dates the visible remains (DG103-043002-). Its destruction in 1390 is recorded in the Annals of the Four Masters as follows ‘The castle of Cill Barrainne was demolished by Donnell, the son of Murtough O'Conor of Sligo.’ (AFM 1390). Lacy et al (1983, 359) note that ‘Very little is known of the history of Kilbarron Castle and the surviving ruins of this O'Clery stronghold undoubtedly post-date the destruction of the site in 1390 (AFM).’
