The National Monuments Service's description
The Strafford Inquisition of Co. Mayo undertaken in 1635-37 records '…the moiety of the castle [MA111-072002-], town and lands of Lehinch…' (O' Sullivan 1958, 70). The town or settlement is likely to have grown up around the castle, but no remains have been identified of either and their precise location is unknown.
