• RO048-113001 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  In the valley of the N-S Cross river, with the stream c. 50m to the W. A natural grass-covered gravel ridge was adapted into a flat-toped oval mound (dims of base 60m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE; dims of top 34m NE-SW; 21.5m NW-SE; H 5.3m at NE to 7.5m at SW) by digging a fosse (Wth of top c. 9m; Wth of base 2.4m; D 1.4m) and outer bank (Wth 12.5m; ext. H 2m) SSW-NNW. From N-E a fosse (Wth of top c. 14m; Wth of base 2.4m; D 3.2m) cuts off the tail of the ridge to serve as a roughly crescent-shaped bailey (dims 21m N-S; 15m E-W).

• RO048-113002 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Located in the valley of the N-S Cross river with the stream c. 50m to the W, and on the summit of motte (RO048-13001-). A castle ruin is depicted at Ballycragan on the Strafford map of c. 1636, although placed on the W side of the stream (Simington 1949, Athlone (71)). A quarter at Ballycreggan amounting to 287 acres together with a stone house and a mill were owned by John Mc Robert O Naughten in 1641, but this was divided between the Countess of Fingal and Colonel William Legg by the 1660s. John Mc Robert didn’t hold any other land in Kiltoom parish in 1641 but others with the name Naughten held 1000 acres and shares in other land, but this had been distributed to new owners by the 1660s (ibid. 96-99). The castle is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 18.5m NE-SW; 11.5m NW-SE) defined by the foundations of stone walls obscured by cairn material, but with two internal divisions. There is local knowledge of dances held on this floor in the early twentieth century, (Egan 2004, 72).
