What is recorded here

Located on flat land which was located alongside an important togher marked on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map as the 'Togher of Croghan'. No surface trace of castle remains. May have been confused with nearby tower house at Toberdaly (OF011-013----) which was occupied by Mary Warren (Down Survey (1655-6)). The Site of Lady Mary Warrens Castle is depicted at the wrong location on the revised 1909 ed. OS 6-inch map and on the OS 25-inch map. On the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map the location of the castle is depicted as a rectangular area shown in dotted outline in the adjoining field west of where the castle is depicted on the revised 1909 ed. OS 6-inch map. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 22 June 2016
