The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Castle' in both. Its inclusion in the SMR is based on documentary evidence. Wood-Martin, (1882, 316) recorded a 1585 land grant thus: 'In the Barony of Tirrereagh, that Edmond O'Dowd shall have 3 qrs as a demaine to his castle of Kylgalsse free ...'. The compilers of the SMR assumed that the castle was located at the 18th century 'Kilglass House'. However there are no upstanding remains of the castle visible at this location.
