This castle, with an associated bawn (MA117-045001-), is listed in the 1635 Strafford Inquisition of Co. Mayo: 'Thomas oge mc Tibbot Bourck -1/4 carton of Creagh,…and 1/2 of the castle and bawn thereon;…' (O' Sullivan 1958, 55). According to Lavelle (1994, 101, no. 689) there is a 'Local tradition of castle in townland. No visible surface traces.'

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.
