The National Monuments Service's description
A land grant to William Mc Brian Murtagh in 1619 included ‘the castle and fields of Knockivagan’ (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 450). The precise location of the castle has not been identified and it is possible that Ballyknock Castle (LF018-060001-) in the adjoining townland to the S may be it.
