Ivy-covered roughly coursed rubble and limestone building (17.90m E-W, c. 22m N-S, wall T 0.73m), L-shaped with projections at three of its angles, Jacobean chimney stacks similar to Castle Cuffe (LA002-008----). Probably an early seventeenth- century fortified house. According to O'Hanlon this castle was built in 1680 by Colonel Dunne (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 268).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
