The National Monuments Service's description
Structure shown as castle in ruins on Taylor and Skinner's map of 1777 at Corbollis, but the 1778 edition shows a house (P 260). There are no visible surface traces but its precise location is not known.
The above description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
