- LI006-017001: Castle - tower house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLI006-017001-. The castle of Caladh an Treoigh [Castletroy] stands on the S bank of the River Shannon and was described by Westropp (1906-7, 86) as following; '1197 H. Troy was first provost of Limerick; the family is often named. T. Troy, bailiff of Limerick, witnessed Edm. Wyndebald's will, 1361 (Arthur MSS., Len. 62). 1583 W. Bourke held Vill of Castlellane Trylane, C[astle]. of Callatroo (Des. R., 37, Peyton 257). 1610 Held by Mac Keough of Clonkeen, and 1655 the ruined C[astle], eel weir, &c, of Callahintroy, by Lord Brittas (C.S. xxix., p. 8). 1666 Granted to Duke of York. 1688 Shown as standing in the Shannon (Trustees' Map, 22). 1703 Sold to Hollow Blades Company'. The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that in 1640 Theobald Lord Baron of Brittas was the proprietor in 'CallaghItroy' of a 'ruined castle an orchard & an Eele weare upon it' (Simington 1938, 465). The castle standing on the S bank of the Rver Shannon is depicted on the late 17th century map Hibernia Delineatio. Castle described in 1840 as following; 'In the townland of Castle-Troy on the southern bank of the Shannon there is a castle which gave name to the townland. Its east and north sides are in tolerable preservation, but the other two are nearly destroyed, only ten feet [3m] of the west and six feet [1.8m] of the south wall remaining. It measures on the inside thirty one feet six inches [9.6m] by twenty one feet two inches [6.45m], and the walls are seven feet six inches thick [2.3m] and the sides, which are perfect, about seventy feet [21.3m] in height, and contain windows for five floors (stories)' (OSL Kilmurry parish). Castle remains described by Salter (2004, 78) as following; 'The 18m high east end of this 10.4m wide tower of the MacKeoughs of Glenkeen [Clonkeen] is built out as a prow containing the spiral staircase with a tier of sizeable vaulted rooms behind it, whilst other passages and small rooms lay over the SE facing entrance doorway. The result is a very rare five-sided building with a greatest length of 16.5m. The SE corner has an angle-loop at second storey level and corbels for a bartizan containing a chamber at fourth storey level. The main part of the tower further west contained rooms about 6m square, the lowest level being vaulted and the second level having a fireplace on the north, but this part is much ruined by the loss of the SW corner and most of the south wall. On the NW corner this part also had a room in a bartizan at fourth storey level'. See attached image of Castletroy taken from Hibernia Delineatio, courtesy of TCD.

In 1991 an archaeological survey carried out by Celie O’Rahilly as part of an environmental impact report recorded the possible presence of a levelled bawn defending the castle (LI006-017001-) at Castletroy. The levelled bawn was described by O'Rahilly as following; 'Immediately around the structure [Castle Troy] is raised ground, to the east, south and west, which may be the remains of the bawn'. The 1654-56 Civil Survey of Limerick recorded that in 1640 Theobald Lord Baron of Brittas was the proprietor in 'CallaghItroy' of a 'ruined castle an orchard & an Eele weare upon it' (Simington 1938, 465). The 'orchard' described in the 1654-56 Civil Survey may have been the walled garden or bawn attached to the medieval castle of Castletroy. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 11 May 2020

In 1991 an archaeological survey carried out by Celie O’Rahilly as part of an environmental impact report recorded the possible presence of a gateway belonging to levelled bawn (LI006-017002-) defending the castle (LI006-017001-) at Castletroy. The levelled bawn and gateway was described by O'Rahilly as following; 'Immediately around the structure [Castle Troy] is raised ground, to the east, south and west, which may be the remains of the bawn. In the adjoining north-south running field boundary, to the east of the bawn is an elaborate gate feature which may relate to an entrance feature although its axis, east-west is at variance with an access to the bawn (Which should be north-south). This consists of two arched wall on either side of the modern gate with rebates into which the gate is fixed by spud stones' (SMR File).

In low-lying grassland approx. 40m W of the Mulkear River, that forms the townland boundary with Ballyvollane. The site is not indicated on the 1840 OS 6-inch map or any subsequent OS maps. Identified in 1990 by Celie O’Rahilly as a possible ring-barrow when it was described as following; 'Located in the south-east corner of the area, on flat ground, is a possible Ring Barrow. It consists of a trace of a circular feature defined by a very low bank, ca. 30m in diameter, in the centre of which is a depression. This appears to have been recently infilled with clay' (O'Rahilly 1990). An Archaeological Assessment Report carried out by Aegis Archaeology Ltd. in 2009/10 recorded the following details about this monument; 'The fieldwork and survey carried out a part of this report has the found that the dot (on www.archaeology.ie) is slightly too far to the north. The true location is marked by means of an arrow on figure 5. The site is visible as a sub-circular platform approximately 30m in diameter, and 0.6m above the surrounding ground level. The sides of the platform slope gently towards exterior ground level. No trace of the bank mentioned in the O'Rahilly report was noted. A depression was noted in the NE quadrant of the site, measuring 3m north-south by 2m east-west, 0.3m deep. A possible ditch although very indistinct, was noted from S through E to NW, (in parts discernible as an area of greener vegetation than the surrounding land) averaging 3m wide and 0.2m deep, although the suggestion of the ditch at S has been augmented by tractor tracks. the ditch could not be clearly defined at W, due to flattened long grass at this side' (Coyne 2009, 12-13). Google Earth orthoimage taken 2018 indicates faint traces of a sub-circular shaped cropmark at this location. Compiled by Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 11 June 2020

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.
