- RO056-014: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO056-014----. Marked as a small ruin (dims c. 5m x c. 5m) described as Correen Castle in gothic lettering on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. While Carren is marked on the Strafford map of c. 1636 no castle is indicated, but Malby Brabson owned 186 profitable and 146 unprofitable acres there in 1641 that had been distributed amongst four others by the 1660s (Simington 1949, 63 Moycarn). The present castle was built in 1833 by a family called Potts on the site of an older castle, of which nothing is known (Grenham 1983, 79). Situated on a slight rise on the floodplain of the River Suck, which is c. 750m to the S. The present structure is a three-bay, two storey house over a vaulted basement with a projecting central bay containing the entrance, which faces E. The walls are rendered and there are two large chimney-stacks on the W wall and a plain crenelated parapet. The windows of the central bay have square hood-mouldings, which may be from an older structure. It is still occupied. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
