A castle is indicated on the Down Survey map (1655-6) in the vicinity of the present Lismacue House. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'Uppon ye three quarters of Lismchugh stands a demolished castle' and Theobald Butler is listed as the proprietor in 1640 (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 18-19). Lismacue House is a two-storey over basement 18th-century country house with early 19th-century additions. There is no indication that the castle was incorporated into this house. The castle is unlocated within the 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.
