  Description

  In pasture. A large roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 75m) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1900 revision. A field boundary is indicated running NW-SE through the centre of the monument. By 1967 the monument had been levelled as it is visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP ASW033, 17 July 1967) as a cropmark. A castle (KK021-019001-) is located c. 30m to the NE and a possible trackway (KK021-019002-).

• KK021-019001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  The OS Letters (1839) note that, ‘In the Townland of Castlekelly in this Parish is pointed out the site of a castle called Caisleán Uí Cheallaigh, from which the Townland took its name’ (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 19 (7)). The castle is not indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Gowran or on the parish map of Upper Grange (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map the ‘Site of Castle’ is indicated as being within a rectangular area (c. 38m NW-SE; c. 17m NE-SW), located c. 40m NE of an enclosure (KK021-018----). An aerial photograph (CUCAP ASW033, 17 July 1967) shows a cropmark of two parallel fosses, possibly a roadway (KK021-019002-), running roughly NW-SW for c. 50m S of the castle, and these may be associated with the castle or with the adjacent enclosure.
