The National Monuments Service's description
Two castles are shown in Burren townland on Down Survey (1655-6) map (1652). Smith (1750) mentions a castle of MacCarthy Reagh in Burren (Healy 1988, 234). No known trace of either building; exact locations not known.
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.
