According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) in 1640 the lands of 'Graigue Kent' were owned by 'Morrish Kent pprietor by descent from his Ancestors, & mortgaged to the Lord of Ormond long before the Rebellion … There is on ye sd lands an old broken castle' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 234). Graigue Kent has been identified with the modern townlands of Graigu, Graigue Little and Newtown. The castle is unlocated within these three townlands.
