Situated on flat pasture in undulating countryside with a nearby church (TN048-015) to the W. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as an 'old castle and Bawne out of repaire' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 67). Described in the OS Letters as a small two-storey gabled building with a large fireplace and a chimney in the N wall which according to local tradition was the kitchen of the castle (TN048-016001) (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 90-91). No visible remains of the castle (TN048-016002) and bawn at ground level. They were probably replaced by the nineteenth-century house and modern outhouses.
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.
