In pasture, located on elevated ground. This castle is shown on the Down Survey Barony map (1656-8). It is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a square building (max. dim. c. 10m), named ‘Farragh Castle’, and it is noted in the 1838 OS Letters as follows: 'In the townland of Farragh were the ruins of a castle and bawne, the site of which should be shown on the plan.' (O’Flanagan 1927, 60). By the time of the 1929 OS 6-inch edition the building is no longer shown, and the location is marked ‘Farragh Castle (Site of)’. There is no visible trace of the castle or of the bawn (MA022-025002-). It appears to have been located on a low knoll. A stream, which was diverted around the base of the knoll at E and S, fed a mill, indicated as ‘Flax mill (in Ruins)’ on the 1929 OS 6-inch map, was located to SE of the castle, but no trace of the mill survives.

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.
