There was a local tradition of castle site (IFC Schools MSS 673, 124) at Barmeath in Dysart parish, for which see this web-page accessed on 9 May, 2016 http://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5008861/4961789 However, no castle or other structure is indicated in Desart parish on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map, for which see this web-page accessed on 9 May, 2016 http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Ferrard&c=Louth A 'Castle Field' at Windmill was known in the 1960s, but its precise location was not and the structure involved could be the windmill marked on the Taylor and Skinner map (1778) at Grange Bellew (P 3) that is still extant, but the present structure must be a replacement.
