Marked as a small rectangular building and described as a 'Castle' in gothic lettering on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated at the summit of a broad hill. Regarded locally as the site of a castle of the Plunkett family who were transplanted here from Meath in the mid-17th century. They lost their lands in the early 18th century to landowners called Knox, who never occupied it. The castle was used as a fever house during cholera outbreaks (1825-1835) and it was burnt before 1840. It is not visible at ground level in pasture.

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.
