The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the low lying grounds of Corkagh Demesne which is currently a County Council Park at the foot of the Dublin Mountains. According to Ua Broin (1944 74, 203) Corkagh House 'stood within the moat of a castle, ruins of which consisted of an arched entrance, portion of a battlemented parapet and eight windows'. Corkagh House was demolished except for the stable yard in the 1960's. There is no visible surface trace of this castle or moat (DU020-011002-).
