What is recorded here

In pasture, on the top of a low drumlin. The castle is now reduced to sod-covered foundations outlining a rectangular structure (int. dims: c. 15m N-S; c. 16m E-W; wall T 0.6m). A structure, which appeared to be the remains of a tower house, stood here into the 1970s (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney). 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).
