Marked as an intact structure (dims. c. 15m N-S; c. 10m E-W), which is described in gothic lettering as the ruin of a Castle on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. This may be the ‘castle of Scarke’ mentioned in the description of the bounds of Ballyanne parish (Simington 1953, 204), but there are no other references to it, There are no visible remains at ground level in a small wood.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
