This record refers to a castle in Bunree townland. This townland is located at the NE end of Ballina town at the confluence of the River Moy and its tributary the Brusna. The castle was recorded in the 1830’s by John O’Donovan in the OS Letters as follows: ‘There was another castle belonging to O’Dowd in Bunree Townland, which was totally cleared away a few years ago. I saw where it stood a short distance from the Moy on the Sligo side.’ (O’Flanagan 1927, 353 (147)). Its exact location remains unknown.
