The National Monuments Service's description
There is a castle marked on Duncans 1821 map which is not indicated on the later OS 6-inch maps. This is located at the head of a glen in what today is improved pasture. The OS Letters 1837 (Herity 2001, 22) describe a house at old Castlekelly which incorporated part of a castle. This may be the same site. There are no visible traces above ground.
