The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of a dovecote on the estate of Bremore Castle (DU002-002001-) has not been identified. In an inquisition of 1567 the estate at Bremore is stated to have consisted of ‘a castle, 8 messuages or buildings, a dovecote, 8 gardens and 132 acres’ and to have been held by Edward Barnewall of Drimnagh [DU018-036----], ‘as of his manor of Balrothery’ (Kelly and Cogan et. al. 2013, 24).
