What is recorded here

In a meadow, on top of a rise. There are now no visible remains of the MacDonagh castle which was demolished to provide stone for 'all the houses of Cartron, near Tubberscanavin', this stone 'having been tastefully hammered and chiselled' (O'Rorke [1889], vol. 2, 234-5). The castle was indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map as a small single tower. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
