An unsigned map of 1707 (NLI Ms. 21) shows an apparently three storey tower house with a smaller, two storey house attached, together with three neighbouring, single storey cottages, in the centre of this townland. The monument is also recorded, and named 'Ca Rs', on Taylor’s Map of County Kildare (1783). Tickell (1960, 399) suggests it was one of the castles erected to defend the Pale. Only the grass-covered foundations of a rectangular structure survive.
