The National Monuments Service's description
A land grant to Mary Nugent, Lady Delvin, and her son Sir Richard Nugent, Baron of Delvin, in 1605 included a 'Castle and certain lands containing 1 cartron or the 4th part of a carucate in Monilagan; parcel of the estate of Rory Bane Mc Laughlin' [Farrell] (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 74). The precise location of the castle has not been identified but a 17th-century house (LF013-009----) may subsequently have been built on or close to it.
