The National Monuments Service's description
The Civil Survey (1654-6) mentions one small castle with a stone house at Balgriffin (Simington 1945, 189). This was held by James Bath who owned vast estates in the Drumcondra area. There is a complex of farm buildings on a low-lying site at Balgriffin Park. These are largely dilapidated and ruinous with no early stone work apparent.
