According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) in the parish of 'Mogowry' 'there is butt one Castle and that at Ballylosky and ready to fall' (Simington 1931, vol.1, 163). Under 'Ballylosky', which was under the proprietorship of ‘Thomas Butler of Kilkonnell Esqr. Irish Papist’ in 1640, the castle is described as ‘an old Brooken castle w[hi]ch is Cloaven in three quarters’ (ibid. 164). This castle is unlocated within the townlands of Ballylusky and Shankyle.
