Site visited in 1974 by Offaly Historical and Archaeological Society and described as ' in NW corner of a field known as the 'castle garden'. Virtually no remants of castle though a wall surrounding the field (castle garden) is made of a large no. of stones which may have been plundered from the castle site' (OHAS files 1974-5). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
- OF016-005002: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF016-005002-. No surface trace visible of any enclosure in the vicinity of the castle site (OF016-005001-). Aerial photographs (GSI, N 533/4/5) shows faint outline of potential enclosure. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

- OF016-060: Burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF016-060----. Situated on top of a low rise of ground with good views in all directions, the rear gardens of a row of modern bungalows backs onto the W side of the burial ground. According to local information this was the site of an 'old burial ground which was never used in the lifetime of the local people (pers. comm. Vincent Cummings). The site consists of a low rise of ground (H 0.4m; diam. 15) in the N corner of a field with remains of a fosse running from E to W which delimits the S side of the burial ground. This fosse belongs to an old field boundary indicated on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map which formed a small triangular shaped field (dims. 50m x 22m) in the N corner of the field as shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. This small triangular field was the burial ground which appears to have been fenced off from the rest of the larger field in which it is situated. The local farmer avoids ploughing int this corner of the field due to the local tradition of it being an old burial ground.

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
