According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 203), 'In a castle at the "Moat of Maudlin," lived, several centuries ago, Shawn mc Sharoo Purcell, a powerful warrior, much famed in local tradition'. O'Kelly (1969, 46-7) writes that, 'Maudlin moat is a well-known landmark once surmounted by a castle of which there is now no trace'. There are two enclosures in Maulin townland, KK010-043001- and KK010-062----, the latter being c. 180m SW of the former, and it is unknown which, if either, of these monuments are the 'Maudlin moat' referred to. As the precise location of this castle is unknown, it is unlocated within the townland.

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.
