What is recorded here

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).

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.
