Oliver Keating was possessed of the manor of Kilcowan at the time of his death in March 1629 (Jeffrey 1979, 78-9). This consisted of a castle (WX046-042001-), a hall (WX046-042002-), an orchard, a messuage (WX046-068----) or house and appurtenances, and at least two cottages (WX046-069----; WX046-070----). The site of the castle was at the W edge of a rectangular wooded area (dims c. 100m E-W; c. 25m N-S) as depicted on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and this area is known locally to have been an orchard before it was removed. It cannot be certain that this is on the site of the original orchard, or that it was defined by a wall.
