The manor of Cromwell was granted to Sir Richard Wingfield in 1613, but it was re-named Wingfield in a re-grant of 1618 (Loeber and Stouthamer-Loeber 1987, 188–9). The manor house (WX002-032----) survived the troubles of the 1640s, but a ruined castle is recorded in the Civil Survey (1654-56) at Ballynabarney (Simington 1953, 8). The location is not known, and there are no other references to the castle, but it may have been close to Wingfield House where a castle was reputedly destroyed in 1798.

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.
