The National Monuments Service's description
See attached document with details from Risteárd Ua Cróinín and Martin Breen, The Castles and Tower-houses of Co. Clare (unpublished report). Uploaded courtesy of R. Ua Cróinín and M. Breen. The location recorded here should only be considered as indicative and is based on the report by Westropp, in 1892, that its foundations ‘stood in the river near the Clare end of the flood-gates and at the canal dam.’ (Westropp 1893, 191, footnote 1)
