The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated dwelling within townland.
Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as the 'castle of castletowne situated close by the shannon together with a Barbicon and a slate house' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 153). Donogh O Bryen is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.).
No surface remains of any dwelling or slate house pre-1700 in area marked on OS 6-inch map.
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.
