- WM023-046 Castle - unclassified
Description
The precise location of a medieval castle standing on the lands of Morris Dillon depicted on the Down Survey map of Drumraney parish (NLI, MS 723-4) has not been identified. On this map a tower house type structure is depicted standing in the townland of High Baskin close to the townland boundary of Baskin Low (ibid.). The ASI suggested that this castle may have been located on the site of an 18th/19th century house, but there was no physical evidence at this house to suggest that there was a medieval castle at this location. It was speculated that this medieval ‘castle’ may have been the same building as the 'Ruin' annotated on Larkin's 1808 Map of County Westmeath (NLI, MS 46,580). No surface remains of this 'Ruin' could be identified at the are marked on the RMP map for Co. Westmeath. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 24 July 2019
