Description
In pasture, within SE corner of square field planted with trees. Arc (C c. 60m) formed by two earth and stone banks, survives SW->NNW; line of outer bank also survives in field to S as barely perceptible arc S->SW. Inner bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.9m) low and overgrown; outer bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4m) lies c. 2.5m outside inner bank; rock out crop on line of bank to N where stone wall extends northwards from inner bank. Interior heavily overgrown; surface uneven and broken by rock out crop. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

- CO027-101 Castle - tower house
Description
On low hillock, overlooking surrounding flat land. All that survives is 2-storey garderobe tower which projected from N side of castle. North wall (L 2.9m) survives with return of E wall (L 4.4m) and W wall (L 3.2m); latter has short return to W at its broken end at 1st-floor level. Blocked arched opening at ground-floor level in N wall. At 1st-floor level blocked lintelled ope at E end of N wall and splayed ingoing of window at S end of E wall. Broken stonework on internal faces of E and W walls suggests presence of sloping garderobe shaft, probably exiting through arched opening at base of tower. Little known of history of site; not depicted on Down Survey (1655-6) barony map. Land grant of 1588 to Arthur Hyde included '...the castle and lands of Granagenaghe...' (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 2, 89). Probably a Condon castle originally. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
