The National Monuments Service's description
At foot of NW side of Kilbarry Hill, on shelf of rough grazing. No visible surface trace of castle built by O Leary clan (Healy 1988, 35); according to local tradition, stones from castle used in constructing nearby Kilbarry House in early 19th century. According to O Murchadha (1993, 239), documentary sources suggest castle here 'not built before the 1570s'.
