According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 105), 'Cushlawn O’Meeachawn or the castle of the O’Meehans, stood on Ballinalacken hill, to the east of Cromwell’s road. Only a heap of stones marks the site. The place is believed to be a favourite resort of the “good people.” That it is wild, desolate and fiercely wind-swept there can be no question’. The precise location of this castle is unknown.
