Recorded monuments

• SL034-220001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Close to the E shore of Lough Arrow, on a steep W-facing slope. The site occupies the W edge of a terrace overlooking the shoreline. The remains consist of an earthen platform (c. 25m N-S; c. 15m E-W) (SL034-220002-) from which the ground falls steeply down, over 8m, to the lake shoreline. At the S end of this platform are the sod-covered remains of a stone-built structure (int. dims. 11m x 7.5m) which was probably rectangular in plan but the remains are very fragmentary. The interior area is strewn with loose rubble. An earth and stone bank (Wth 0.7m; H 2.5m) extends downhill from the N end of the platform towards the lakeshore. At the foot of this are the remains of a rectangular structure (int. dims. 2m x 4m) with a small secluded boat dock on its W side. A tumbled field boundary wall links the S end of the platform with the shoreline. Most of these remains are covered by trees with an undergrowth of briars and bushes. On the shoreline, immediately N of the end of the field boundary wall, is the 'Armourer's Well'; Wood-Martin (1882, 227) suggested that water from the well was used to temper weapons of war. The well consists of a roughly circular depression (1.4m N-S; 1.5m E-W; max. D 1.4m), lined on the N side with rocks, with an irregular outflow gully (L 1.5m) on the NW side. The base of the well is muddy with some rocks protruding through it and the gully is roughly lined with small rocks. The well was filled with lake water when inspected but according to local information, it also holds water during the summer months when the lake level is lower. The castle of Baile-an-Duin was captured and dismantled by Hugh O'Conor in 1352 (ibid.). It was later a possession of the MacDonaghs (O'Dowd 1991, 72). According to local tradition, Ballindoon House (SL034-213----), c. 0.9km to the NW, was built using material from the castle (pers. comm. M. A. Timoney).

The remains of a rectangular structure (int. dims. 2m x 4m) are built against the internal wall. There are the remains of a small secluded boat dock on the W side. There is an Armourer's well (SL034-220003-) within the perimeter to S. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC with revisions by Patrick F. O'Donovan and Paul Walsh Date of upload: 20 June 2011
