The National Monuments Service's description
On E bank of River Corrib opposite Newcastle (GA094-040----) close to a probable fording point (GA082-090----). There was a castle here in 1574, at which time it was in the possession of 'Domynick Lynch' (Nolan 1901, 115). No visible surface trace of the latter survives, however. The present fragmentary ruins, probably on the same site, are those of a 17th-C gabled house (GA080-080002-). (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 1, 166-7)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
