The precise location of Rahugh Castle has not been identified. Not marked on the 1655 Down Survey parish map of Rahugh. Described in the terrier as following; ‘In it stands the walls of a castle and a church at Rahugh’ (NLI, MS 723-4) which in 1640 stood on lands belonging to Rosse Geoghegan who is described as an Irish Papist' (ibid.). The castle was probably located in the vicinity of Rahugh Church (WM038-041----).
