Described by J. O'Donovan c. 1838 as the stump of a castle c. 50 paces E of Rathgormuck castle (WA003-039001-) (O'Flanagan 1929, 36). He described it as ' twelve feet high, and measuring twenty nine feet eight inches by 24 feet with walls about six feet thick' (dims. c. 12m x c. 7.5m).' It still had a vaulted roof. There is no other evidence of this castle, and the location is now occupied by farm sheds, but it may have been a corner tower of the bawn (WA003-039003-) associated with the tower house (WA003-039001-).
