The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on the 1841 or 1906 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. Also known as the Old Episcopal Manor-house or castle, it was demolished in the eighteenth century (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 220-1). The precise location of this castle has not been identified.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
