One of three castles (WM002-027---; WM002-029--) in Street which was mentioned in the terrier of the 17th century Down Survey map for the parish of Street where it was recorded that 'it hath 3 Runious Castles (but few inhabytants therein) at Streete' (NLI, MS 723-4). The Down Survey map shows a two storey high gable ended house (WM002-041----) in the present village of street which was the property of the Irish papist, Theobald Delamarr. No castle ruins are depicted on this map. The precise location of two of these castles has not been identified and it is possible that the third castle ruins was located on the summit of the Anglo-Norman motte (WM002-027----). Today there are no surface remains of any medieval buildings or ruins of stone castles in the village of Street which are mentioned in the terrier of the Down Survey.
