The National Monuments Service's description
According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 258), 'Kyleballynamoe castle stood at Mr. Julian's house. It belonged to the Shortalls till the Cromwellian confiscations. Its latest occupant was a "Major Tossle," who lived here about 1770. Only a small fragment of the castle remains at present'. The castle is indicated on a Down Survey map (1655-6) and was tentatively located at a farm. A field inspection in 1987 of the farm buildings found no trace of the castle at ground level. The precise location of the castle within the townland is unknown.
