The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in pastureland, to SW of Newcastle village. In existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Conogher OKelly' (Nolan 1901b, 122). No visible surface trace survives; the immediate area has been greatly disturbed by quarrying which probably resulted in the destruction of the castle. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 256)
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).
