According to a lease of 1608 Richard Eustace was required to 'build the said castle of Gurtinavackan substantially with lime and stoane, a story height above the vault, with a battlement, and a slate roof ... and make a stoane walle round about the towne and make a strong gate of oak timber and boords' (FitzGerald 1915-17, 161). It is shown on the 1907 OS 6-inch map as a circular mound, where the castle was built. There is a cropmark of a rectangular enclosure, probably a moated site, in an adjacent field to the S (KD040-030----).
