Situated at the base of a SSW-facing hillside, on the N bank of the Carn River. The ‘castle and bawn [MA014-057001-] of Carricknassy’ are listed in the 17th-century Stafford Inquisition of County Mayo (O’Sullivan 1958). The castle was extant in the late 18th- and early 19th-century when McParlan (1802, 133) described it as ‘square of thirty feet [c. 9m], about forty-five feet [c. 14m], high surrounded by a strong bawn nine feet [2.75m] high, built by Burke family’. By the mid-19th-century, however, it had been demolished: in 1838 O’Donovan found only a wall, which he interpreted as a remnant of the bawn wall (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 272 (141-2), and the location is marked on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as 'Site of Carrickanass Castle'.

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.
