• RO008-032001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  References to Castlemore, the principal castle of the Costellos date from 1336 to 1595, and it may be the castle of Lugha razed by O'Conor in 1270 (Lynn 1986, 98-100). In 1580 it was acquired by Theobald Dillon from Mac Costello (Cronin 1980, 114), and in 1635 it was the property of Lord viscount Dillon of Castlereagh and Gallen (O'Sullivan, W. 1958, 4-5). Situated on a low knoll with a small N-S stream immediately to the W, which joins a NW-SE stream c. 100m to the S. This is a grass-covered masonry structure (ext. dims c. 16m E-W; c. 11m N-S; H 3.2m at N) with an external base batter at N but it is largely obscured by grass-covered cairn material. It stands inside the perimeter at the NW angle of the rectangular bawn (RO008-032002-) (dims 45m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by a wall (T 0.9m; ext. H 1.4m) at N, but the S part of the enclosure has been damaged by quarrying and contained at least one hut-site (RO008-021003-) (int. diam. 2.5m) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1.7-2.8m; H 0.5-0.9m) with two other possible hut-sites (RO008-032004-; RO008-032005-). Test excavations (97E0268; 98E0325; 03E0430; 06E0121) in the vicinity failed to produce archaeological material (Walsh 1998; Morahan 2000; Read 2006c; Henry 2009b). There is a church (RO008-033001-) c. 100m to the E on the other side of a NE-SW road.
