On the site of Carrowbrowne Castle (GA082-018001-). Fragmentary ruins of a two-storey rectangular house (L > 13.65m, Wth 6.52m int.), probably of 17-18th-C date. A large portion of SE side-wall, NE gable, and a portion of NW wall survive. There is a doorway in SE wall flanked by three bays of ground and first-storey windows. There are fireplaces in NE corner on ground and first storeys, and possible traces of a W wing. A date-stone (1674), parts of an inscription, and a window head are visible in the adjoining farm buildings. (Athy 1914, 154-5)
