The National Monuments Service's description
Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 455) notes that, 'of Gaulstown castle, which stood in a field named the "Old Street", nothing remains but a small fragment of grouted masonry and some traces of foundation. The name of the field suggests the former presence of a settlement, perhaps associated with the castle (KK011-02002-). The precise location of both the castle and the possible settlement are unknown.
