- CL063-010: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL063-010----. It is likely that Castlebank House, which is a late 19th century remodeling of an earlier 18th century farmhouse, stands on the site of this castle. A keystone from a mantle piece decorated with the O'Brian coat of arms and dated 1578 (CL063-010001-) is built into the gable of the two-storey store outside the main entrance gate to the yard (see attached report).

- CL063-010001: Architectural fragment, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL063-010001-. This stone is built into the gable of a two-storey store outside the main entrance gate to the yard. It is the keystone from a mantle piece and bears the O’Brien coat-of-arms and the date 1578. This undoubtedly came from the castle (see document attached to CL063-010----) (pers. comm. Martin Breen, 21 December 2014). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 24 December 2014
- CL063-028: Burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL063-028----. Following the outbreak of hostilities in 1641 a number of Protestant settlers fled to Castlebank (CL063-010----) for protection. This castle was besieged in May – June 1642 and the following is recorded in the deposition of Frances Rinders, the wife of John Rinders who were there: ‘. . . that during the time they were blocked up in the said castle three young children one of them called Mathew Rinder, this deponent’s child, & two of Robert Bankes’ his children using to go forth often to gather herbs were taken by some of the enemy & never found nor heard of ever since; but the common opinion of Limerick & other places thereabouts is that the said Mathew was murdered & buried half dead & th’other two children thrown into the river & drowned. She being further examined says that three of her children as also thirty other men, women & children during the said siege through the extremity of the same and being likewise starved, died in the said castle & were all in & near the said castle buried.’ (TCD MS 829, fols 56r, 57v). A small triangular earthen mound to the northeast of the avenue is thought locally to be the burial site of the children who were murdered (see document attached to CL063-010----) (pers. comm. Martin Breen and Risteárd Ua Cróinín, 21 December 2014). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 24 December 2014

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
