This is a duplicate record. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 101), ‘The site of Finnan Castle is pointed out in “the Curragh,” on the bounds of Garranagully. A massive iron gate, believed to have belonged to the castle, was dug up here about 1820’. A castle (KK005-064001-) and houses (KK005-064002-) are also marked in this general location on the Down Survey (1655-6) maps. As the precise location of the castle within the townland is unknown a record was created for its possible location on OS 6-inch sheet 10, onto which a small southern portion of the townland extends.

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.
