On a low, natural rise in pasture. Named 'Caltragh Castle' on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. In 1836-7 the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books for the parish of Cashel in the barony of Rathcline recorded that the ‘ruins of an old castle are to be seen at the west end of the village’ (OSNB, Cashel parish, 1836-7, book 3, no. 12). The Ordnance Survey recorded that the building known locally as ‘Caltromore Old Castle was ‘about 1 chain [20m] long by about ½ a chain [10m] broad. Nothing remains but the foundations’ (OSNB, Cashel parish, 1836-7, book 3, no. 13). It has been levelled and is not visible at ground level.
