Shown on the Down Survey (1655-6). While its precise location is unknown, it was said to have stood on the land of Mr. Loughlin, who could point out its traditional location. A canon ball dug up on the site was thought to have come from the cannon of Colonel Hewson who was believed to have dismantled the castle in 1649 (JKAS 1960, 100).
