The National Monuments Service's description
Architectural fragment of the medieval castle of Castlegregory (KE027-008----) now incorporated into the fabric of Edenburn House which was described in 1899 as follows; 'There was only one stone remaining of this famous castle in our day, which was taken away by Archdeacon Rowan, and is now, we believe, inserted in the wall of Edenburn House' (Prendergast 1899, 29).
