The National Monuments Service's description
No surface remains of castle to be seen in the vicinity of Bellair house. 18/19th-century gothick style buildings in courtyard of house probably imitating the earlier castle located here (Loeber 1988, 80)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
