The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of a castle in the townland of Stephenstown has not been identified. In 1837 the Topographical Dictionary of Ireland recorded that the Parish of Atheneasy contained 'fragments of castles or buildings at Fauntstown [LI048-004----], Gormanstown [LI040-066003-], and Stephenstown' (Lewis 1837, Vol. 1, 89).
