According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 258), 'Kyleballynamoe castle stood at Mr. Julian's house. It belonged to the Shortalls till the Cromwellian confiscations. Its latest occupant was a "Major Tossle," who lived here about 1770. Only a small fragment of the castle remains at present'. The castle is indicated on a Down Survey map (1655-6) and was tentatively located at a farm. A field inspection in 1987 of the farm buildings found no trace of the castle at ground level. The precise location of the castle within the townland is unknown.
