The National Monuments Service's description
In existence in 1574 when 'Glynske' castle was in the possession of 'Hubert boy McDavy [Burke]' (Nolan 1901b, 117). Not located. It presumably stood on or close to the 17th-C house (GA007-062001----). A fragment of an ogee-headed window is visible at the latter monument, protruding from the base of N wall, just E of the doorway.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
