Marked fainly as a rectangular structure (dims c. 5m x c. 5m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and described as the site of a castle on it and the 1925 ed. References to a castle at Ardenagh date only from the Civil Survey (1654-6) when a small castle in repair and 300 acres were recorded as the property of William or Alison Hore in 1640, and William also owned Traceystown castle (WX041-002----) and 300 acres there (Simington 1953, 84). It is situated on a gentle E-facing slope, but there are no visible remains of a structure at ground level on the N side of a farm complex.
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.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
