According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 161), ‘Another castle stood at James Coogan’s, in this townland [Firoda Lower, otherwise Glenmagoo]. Its ruins were uprooted in 1860. It was known as “Grace’s old castle” from its last occupant, one Ellenor Grace, who cannot have lived much later than the year 1700. Near this is a deep gripe called Lhockeearrig or the Red Flags, and a well called Tubbernahock or Well of the Flags’. The precise location of the castle within the townland is unknown.

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.
