The National Monuments Service's description
The OS Letters describe a wall 'built on the ruins of an ancient wall around Kilnamanagh castle' (ed. O'Flanagan ed. 1927, 33(63). According to the report it was of 'very rude and rough appearance'; 'the stones (were) square, oblong lime quarry stones, lying irregularly without any old mortar'. This may have been the remains of a bawn. There are no visible remains above ground.
