The Civil Survey (1654-6) mentions one small castle with a stone house at Balgriffin (Simington 1945, 189). This was held by James Bath who owned vast estates in the Drumcondra area. There is a complex of farm buildings on a low-lying site at Balgriffin Park. These are largely dilapidated and ruinous with no early stone work apparent.

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.
