On a slight rise in a low-lying position on the NW bank of the SW-NE Ogulla River, c. 30m to the SE. It was thought that this was the castle built by O'Conor Roe in 1406 (Gormley 1989, 33-4), but this is now likely to be the tower house (RO022-114011-) at the rath (RO022-114003-). This is a circular grass-covered rubble mound with an irregular surface (diam. 26m E-W; 24m N-S; H 1.5m at N to 3.5m at S). Cut stones from a window were found in 1987 and re-buried (SMR file). Archaeological testing (04E0939) c. 100m to the SW in Grange townland failed to recover any related archaeological material (Read 2007). Rath (RO022-114003-) is c. 60m to the SE and the priory (RO022-114006-) is c. 120m to the SSW, on the other side of the stream. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
