• KD011-019 Castle - tower house
  Description

  According to Fitzgerald (1909-11, 520-21), the site marked 'Terrils Ca. (castle) and Mills' on Taylor's 1783 Map of County Kildare was subsequently occupied by the 'Temple Mills' which are shown on the latest ed. (1938) of the OS 6-inch map. He quotes a description of the mill and its appurtenances from the Civil Survey of 1654; 'Mrs. Mabel Aylmer, Irish Papist, is the owner of "Tyrrells Mill" and two acres of land, which are valued for letting purposes at £16 a year. … There is one castle upon the aforesaid two acres of land which in the year 1640 was valued to be worth £100, but since being ruined, is now valued at £5.' Fitzgerald concludes, 'Of Tyrrell's Castle there are now no remains', but he supplies a drawing of the castle by S. Walker in 1778 which shows a narrow rectangular building with a projecting corner tower. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
