• 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). Castle (RO048-113002-) is on the summit of the motte. (Graham 1988b, 25; Doran 2005, 376) This is a National Monument in state ownership: No. 682 See the attached aerial image (001) taken from the NW, and the ground image (007) taken from the N.

• 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).

• RO048-171 Water mill - vertical-wheeled
  Description

  A mill is marked in this area on the Strafford map of c. 1636 at a place called Stratamery, just SE of Mullagh (Simington 1949, Athlone (73)). The mill, described as at Ballycreggan, was owned by John Mc Robert O'Naughton in 1641 along with 287 acres there, but the property had passed to the Countess of Fingal and Colonel William Legg by the 1660's (ibid. 97). In the 19th century Millnaghten mill was the property of the Grainger estate who leased it to Mongans, but by 1861 the lease was taken by Bartholomew O'Brien of Atteagh Mills, c. 1km to the N, who probably built the present buildings on the W bank of the N-S Cross River. These consist of a three-bay three-storey mill with a two-bay, two-storey structure attached to the W, which is thought to be the original mill but is probably coeval with the larger part. The mill continued to be operated by the O'Briens' into the 1940s. None of the remains can be assigned with certainly to the 17nth century.
