What is recorded here

In a farm yard in level pasture. According to Tickell (1960, 370), the castle ‘was acquired by a William Eustace in 1535’, while O’Neill and Clarke (1954, 13, 1954, LXVII) say that Col. Edward Wogan lived there in the 17th century. A very poorly preserved and densely ivy clad, three storied, rectangular structure of which only the W wall (L c. 8m) and the W portion of the S wall (L c. 4m) survive. Built of thin flags, small blocks and roughly squared quoins, with a very slight base batter on the W wall. Three plain, flat-arched windows survive in the W wall; two at ground-floor and one at first-floor level. A modern single story, concrete shed is built against the S wall.
