The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on SW-facing slope. According to O'Donoghue (1986, 82) 'castle of the McCarthys of Gleannacroim'. Both castle and town around were burned by Cromwell's soldiers in 1651. No visible surface trace.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
