The National Monuments Service's description

On the floor of a valley, in mostly reclaimed grassland. Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 376), describes the 'extensive ruins of a fine mansion of about the year 1700, with fish-pond and lake, both dried up'. A rectangular feature (dims. c. 23m x c. 4m), possibly the fish-pond, is located c. 15m SE of the Killahy Castle (KK013-069001-) on the 1st (1839) ed. 6-inch OS map. The fish-pond is not indicated on the subsequent 1900 edition. It is not visible at ground level.
