Description
Edmondstown Castle situated in gently undulating pasture. Corbally Church (WM020-054----) and graveyard (WM020-054001-) 380m to NE. No castle depicted in this townland on the 1655 Down Survey map of Farbill Barony (NLI MS 723-4). Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a rectangular-shaped structure with N wall no longer upstanding. Castle described in 1983 as a rectangular-shaped structure (dims. 7.2m E-W x 6.4m N-S) of which the E, S and W walls survive upstanding, only the grass-covered footings of the N wall survive. The E wall (H 2.5-3.5m) and S walls (H 2.5-3.5m) are the best preserved with the W wall (H 1.5-2m) slightly lower and missing most of its facing stones. The N wall is almost completely destroyed and now visible as a pile of rubble. There are no cut stone features visible apart from a rough rectangular-shaped slit ope in the S wall. The interior is obscured by a pile of collapsed rubble. Castle is obscured by trees on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
