The National Monuments Service's description
The 1937 edition OS 6-inch map shows 'Castle (site of)' on the N bank of the River Liffey at a site which is occupied by a Woolen Mill. This location differs from that shown on the earlier 1837 OS 6-inch map. It is shown on the N side of the road where there is a steep scarp today. Not visible at ground level.
