The National Monuments Service's description
No surface remains visible. Not marked on any edition of the 6" OS 6-inch map. This site was mistakenly identified by SMR and placed around Ballymacegan House while the reference by Smyth to a castle at Ballymacegan is in fact a reference to Redwood Castle (TN001-001-----) (Smyth 1985, 123) and not any castle at Ballymacegan House.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
