Holahan (1883, 88), notes that Bouncestown was the ancient name of the townland of Mountgale and referring to Bouncestown Castle writes that, 'A circular mound is here pointed out near the road-side as the site of the castle of Sir Tobias Butler'. This may refer to an enclosure (KK018-022----) immediately to the E of, and adjacent to, the public road which runs roughly N-S through 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.
