What is recorded here

Traditionally regarded as being located within enclosure (GA086-075----). The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 609) refer to an old castle, known as 'Caislean na binne', after which the td. was named. No visible surface trace survives. According to local information, stone from the castle was reputedly used to build the gate lodge at Woodlawn House, c. 1.5km to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
