The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing pasture slope near the E bank of the SE-flowing River Barrow. Indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) as 'Srowland towne and castles' in that townland. What appears to be a 'castle' in ruins is shown on Taylor's Map of County Kildare (1783), although a 'big house' (as opposed to a castle) is shown in the general area on the older (1752) Noble and Keenan map of the county. No visible surface trace of a castle was found. The precise location of this castle has not been identified.
