On a low knoll with a small N-S stream immediately to W which joins a NW-SE stream c. 100m to S. References to Castlemore, the principal castles of the Costellos date from 1336 to 1595, and it may be the castle of Lugha razed by O'Conor in 1270 (Lynne 1985-6, 98-100).
The bawn (RO008-032002-) at least one hut site (int. diam. 2.5m) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1.7-2.8m; H 0.5-0.9m) with two other possible hut-sites (RO008-032004-; RO008-032005-). Test excavations in the vicinity failed to produce archaeological material (Walsh 1979; Morahan 1998)
