The National Monuments Service's description

Indicated on the 1st (1838) ed. OS 6-inch map and 1900 revision as the site of a castle. The castle is not visible at ground level. The castle is indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of 'Cranagh', with a large house (KK018-035002-) to the W and on the Down Survey parish map of 'Tulleroane' with two houses in the vicinity, one to the W (KK018-035002-) and one (KK018-035003-) to the S (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). The terrier accompanying the parish map lists 'John Grace protest[ant]' as the proprietor of 'Ouldtowne' in 1640and states that the land was 'unforfeited', which implies that the landowner had not sided with the rebels in the 1641 Rising (ibid.).
