The National Monuments Service's description
A castle is depicted on an early 17th-century map of Shrule barony (BL, Cotton MS Augustus I.ii.26) close to the townland border between Kilnacarrow and Corrabola, which would place it in the N part of the present townland of Kilcurry. Its precise location has not been identified. (Mac Niocaill 1992, 274)
