A castle is depicted on church land immediately to the SE of a medieval church (LF013-016001-) on the Down Survey (1655-6) parish map of Templemichael (NLI, MS 719). The terrier accompanying the map refers to it as the ‘one at Templemichaell with a Church’ (ibid.). Its precise location has not been identified. Archaeological investigations undertaken in 2004 in an area c. 200m to the E of the church failed to find any evidence of it (Dennehy 2007a, 253; 2007b, 253; Frazer 2007, 252; Read 2007, 252–3).

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.
