Associated with the medieval borough of Kilcullen (KD028-049----). According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 4, 389), in 1456, parliament ordered that a ‘peel or tower forty feet in height below the entablement, twenty feet in length and sixteen feet in breadth’ be constructed to defend Kilcullen. Its precise location is unknown, nor is it certain that it was ever built. There are also references to two other castles in Kilcullen (KD028-049007- and KD028-049009-).

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.
