Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as a 'little castle out of repair' and Redmond Magrath is listed as proprietor in 1640 (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 247). The location for this castle has been assigned initially to Gaile House. Following an inspection in 2016 no trace of an earlier castle could be identified in the house which dates from c. 1820 and which has a number of subsequent additions. The castle listed in the Civil Survey is unlocated within Gaile townland.

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.
