There are three pieces of stone sculpture embedded in the courtyard walls of Ballylin Demesne.

There is a second armorial plaque on the S face of the N wall with a coat of arms of three lions rampant (OF015-008003-). On the N face of the S wall there is a round arched hammer dressed limestone doorway (OF015-008001-) of late medieval date believed to have come from a destroyed church near Kilreghan cemetery (OF014-031001-) (Dunne 1874-5, 161-5).

- OF014-046: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2COF014-046----. Situated on a natural rise on the floodplains of the river Brosna. Not visible at ground level. Scattered and confused remains of a several 19th-century buildings with Demesne wall attached to the NW corner running in a S direction. The castle masonry was probably used in the building of the demesne wall and buildings. Evidence of this can be seen on the E side of the demesne wall where a window jamb with punch dressing is embedded in the wall. This piece of masonry came from the destroyed castle and indicates a late medieval date based on the fine punch dressing. This trend of knocking down a castle and reusing its rubble is very common in the county. The exact location of the castle is uncertain however the grass covered wall footings of a building to the W of the extant house may indicate the site of the destroyed 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.
