Location of castle at Ballymurely, mentioned in late 16th century documents (Westropp 1906-7, 228), no longer known; Westropp suggests castle may have been rectangular earthwork known as Knockaunacappeen (LI037-027---) but also identifies Ballymurely with Maryville which lies c. 3.5 km to S of earthwork. In Maryville (part of Ballinruane townland) is a small field known locally as "the Castle Field"; however, no trace of any castle features in this field which is under pasture.
