The National Monuments Service's description
A castle is depicted on church land immediately to the SE of a medieval church (LF013-016001-) on the Down Survey (1655-6) parish map of Templemichael (NLI, MS 719). The terrier accompanying the map refers to it as the ‘one at Templemichaell with a Church’ (ibid.). Its precise location has not been identified. Archaeological investigations undertaken in 2004 in an area c. 200m to the E of the church failed to find any evidence of it (Dennehy 2007a, 253; 2007b, 253; Frazer 2007, 252; Read 2007, 252–3).
