The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of this castle within the townland of Ballingarry has not been identified. Westropp (1906-7, 196) recorded the following details about Ballingarry; ' Not marked. 1291 Garthegriffin (probably after Griffin de Rupe). 1302 Garthe in Natherlagh. 1291 suit of Alicia, widow of Griffin de Rupe, a mill, lands and turf there. 1655 Ballingarry C[astle]. in Coshlea (D.S.A., 53). A doubtful site. Strange to say, this place and its namesake in Connello have yielded the only two ogham stones hitherto found in County Limerick'.
