• WM023-058 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Situated on a W-facing slope, in a farmyard associated with Killininneen House that was built c. 1850 possibly incorporating fabric from the medieval castle (www.buildingsofireland.ie; Reg. No. 15402306). Tower house type structure depicted standing on the W side of 'The Highway from Athlone to Dublin' on the Down Survey map of Drumraney parish (NLI MS 723-4). On this map Walterstown Castle (WM023-055----) is shown standing N of the same roadway to the W of Killininneen Castle (ibid.). On the Down Survey map the castle is shown standing on the lands of John Dillon of 'Killenenine'. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a T-shaped structure building annotated 'Killininneen Castle'. The Ordnance Survey Namebook for this site recorded the following; 'This old castle is about 100 links [20m] long and 40 [8m] wide. It is now in ruins' (OSNB 15, 27). On the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map this building depicted as being replaced by an irregular-shaped structure on a larger footprint, annotated ‘Killininneen House on site of Killininneen Castle’. Castle site described in 1981 as no surface remains visible of the medieval castle of Killininneen. Some of the farm buildings may have been built using stone from the castle, however there is no cut stone visible. According to local information the existing footprint of Killininneen House and outbuildings were built on the site of ‘an old castle’. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.

• WM023-061 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on the SW-facing slope of a hill, in pasture with good views to E and W. Ringfort (WM023-060----) lies c. 155m to SW. Monument described in 1971 as a large subcircular-shaped area (approx. 40m E-W; 36m N-S) enclosed by an earth and stone bank with external fosse. The bank is steep and has almost been reduced to a scarp in places. There are traces of a fosse, which is best preserved at E. A modern fence extends just outside the bank from S-SW-W and other fences intersect the bank at NNE and ESE. A slight modern bank has been made along the upper edge of the scarp from SE-S and has a modern trench inside it. The original entrance is not visible. The interior rises slightly from the perimeter towards the centre and has slight traces of cultivation ridges running E-W. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
