According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 411), 'There are no ancient earthworks, such as raths or forts, in Gowran or its immediate vicinity, save a large dismantled moat in the beautiful "Pigeon Park," a couple of hundred yards from Ballyshawnmore castle [KK020-061001-]. This moat would certainly seem to mark the site of some old Royal residence'. The precise location of this monument within Gowran Demesne townland is unknown.
