The National Monuments Service's description
O'Rorke (1890, 392) referred to 'an old castle and bawn, in fair preservation…in Tanrego'. There are no upstanding remains of the castle visible. However the bawn (SL019-062002-) is well preserved. There is a house (SL019-062003-) of late 16th/early 17th century date c. 25m N of the bawn.
