The National Monuments Service's description
A castle/tower, with a small one-storey house attached to its E side, is depicted on the Down Survey (1655-6) parish map in the approximate vicinity of the present Cuskinny House (Healy 1988, 129-30). There are no evident remains in this location of such a castle; Cuskinny House is 'a two storey house of C19th appearance' (Bence Jones 1978, 98).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
