Poorly preserved ivy covered ruins of Gaybrook Castle situated on a low rise of ground with good views in all directions. This may be the same structure as the tower house type castle of Walterstowne [Baile Bháltair/Walderstown] shown standing on the N side of 'The Highway from Athlone to Dublin' on the Down Survey map of Drumraney parish (NLI MS 723-4). On this map Killinneen Castle (WM023-058----) is shown standing N of the same roadway to the E of Walterstown Castle (ibid.). An inquisition into the estate of Robert Dillon of Cannorstown Castle which was held in 1611 listed as part of his possessions in the townland of 'Waterstown alias Ballyvater', 1 ruinous castle, 30 messuages and 30 gardens' (Cal. inq. post mortem, 5 Jac. 1). Structure covered in vegetation making detailed examination of the upstanding fabric impossible. No surface remains visible of enclosure surrounding the ruins which was described in 1978. Monument described in 1971 as the remains of a rectangular structure defined by a portion of the N wall and the SW corner. The short portion of N wall (approx. L 5m; H 1.75m-2m) is joined to the SW corner by a more modern drystone wall. All of the facing stones on the inner and some on the outer façade have been removed and there are no dressed stone visible. The castle is set into the E side of a circular enclosure which is outlined on NE, N & W by remains of an earth and stone bank set on a steep scarp. The scarp has the remains of stone facing in several places. On S & SW the enclosure is bounded by a slight natural rise. Today only the faintest suggestion of this enclosure is visible in the field in which the castle stands. Old field banks which were visible running from the perimeter of the site on the SW side are no longer visible.

Situated on top of a small hillock, overlooking gently undulating demesne parkland, 90m N of Dorrington House. Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map and depicted as a roughly circular-shaped tree-planted earthwork, possibly a tree-ring on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Monument described in 1983 as the remains of a circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 28m) defined by a scarp best preserved from NW-N-E-SE, poorly defined from SE-S-SW with only faint traces visible from SW-W-NW. There are no indications of an external fosse and the interior has no discernible features. May have been a ringfort reused as a tree-ring or may be the remains of a post-1700 tree-ring associated with the demesne landscaping of Dorrington House. Visible today as an oval shaped earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
