• CL039-004002 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  On a slight rise in a low-lying area. Listed as a castle by O'Donovan in 1839 (OS Letters, 193) and Frost (1893, 148), there are no historical references, although it is associated with the Mac Brody family in the 17th century. A drystone-built wall (L 6m; Wth 1m; H 1.3m) running NNE-SSW with a second drystone wall (L 7m; Wth 2.5m; H 0.8m) running ESE from its N end may be on the lines of the original walls. They are at the S edge of a circular grass-covered raised area (diam. c. 30m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1.2m) which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest and which is described as a possible crannog with another carnnog, of which there is now no visible evidence, 50m to W (Gleeson 1989).
