It was probably built by the Kellys in the 16th century. Myles Cavanagh had a lease on it in 1623 (Cronin 1980, 115), but it was owned by Justice James Donnellan in 1641 along with 162 acres at Cloghankeeny also known as Carrowncaslane (Simington 1949, 111). The Donnellans were connected with the Clanrickard Burkes (Beirne 1997c) and was president of the high court that tried many of the leaders of the 1641 rebellion in 1652 (Ellis 1975, 54-5). Situated on a very slight W-facing slope in a low-lying landscape. Rectangular structure (ext. dims 11.8m NW-SE; 9.2m NE-SW) surviving partly to three floors with good quoins and a base batter. A destroyed doorway towards the S end of the SE wall leads to a destroyed lobby with a vaulted guardroom (int. dims 2.6m NE-SW; 1.8m NW-SE; H 2.15m) to the N containing a light and a double gun-loop of dressed stone. The lobby leads through a destroyed doorway (Wth 1.2m; H 2.2m) to the ground floor which has a window embrasure on the SW wall, an embrasure with a gun-loop on the NW wall and a destroyed wall on the NE side.

---

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.
