Indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Fassadining and on the parish map where it is also annotated as, ‘an old stump’. The proprietor in 1640 is given as ‘Phill Purcell Ir[ish] pap[ist]’. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 464), the castle, 'stood to the west of the road from Ballyfoyle to Muckalee, in a field called the "Old Meadow." It has been uprooted, but the site may be distinguished without difficulty, being marked by little mounds and traces of foundations'. The location of the castle within the townland is unknown.
