The National Monuments Service's description
According to O’Keeffe (Herity 2002, 62 (180)), jointly compiling the OSL in 1837, ‘This castle is remembered by the inhabitants to have existed in Gaganstown T.L. {in a place called Cúl A Teampuill} situated near the site of the old church of Gaganstown [KD029-013----]. None of the castle now remains.’ The precise location of this castle is unknown.
