What is recorded here

A castle at Coolagarry had been lost by John Birchel before 1596 (Cronin 1980, 117). This is the only reference to this castle, apart from Michael Pennocke leasing a Quarter there amounting to 50 acres (Simington 1949, 100). Could the castle be a misrepresentation for the castle at Coolnageer (RO045-171001-) or Cornalee (RO048-001----)? Otherwise it was not encountered.

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.
