On W bank of Barna Stream where it flows into White Strand Bay. In existence in 1574 when it was occupied by 'Owen Ohalorane' (Nolan 1901, 115). Known as Sean Chaislean Bheárna, it appears to have been completely demolished by the early 19th C. No visible surface trace survives. (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 166; Hardiman 1846, 59-60)
