Unlocated dwelling within townland.
Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as the 'castle of castletowne situated close by the shannon together with a Barbicon and a slate house' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 153). Donogh O Bryen is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.).
No surface remains of any dwelling or slate house pre-1700 in area marked on OS 6-inch map.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

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.
