Cemetery of three graves excavated in 1953. (1) A cremation in a cist with two bone pendants, (2) a crouched inhumation of an adult in pit with a food vessel sherds, (3) the crouched inhumations of two adult males in a cist with two bowl food vessels (Waddell 1970, 119). Date of upload: 8 September 2016 - KD040-042: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD040-042----. Located downstream from the nunnery founded by Walter de Ridlesford c. 1200 (KD040-015----). It was levelled prior to 1783, but until recently the ruins were used as a source of building material (FitzGerald 1914, 380-1). If it was not situated on the N side of the river (Graney West townland), it may have been on the S side, which would place it in Coltstown townland. The nearby mill (KD040-043----) contains three pieces of mouldings from either the nunnery or the castle.

The main structure of the present ruins include a date stone of 1799. The building incorporates the lower ten courses of an earlier mill. Projecting from the end wall at the N are the foundation courses of a still earlier building. Incorporated into the walls are three portions of moulding, probably from former castle (KD040-042----) or nunnery (KD040-015----).
