The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on high ground in a mountainous area at the intersection of three townland boundaries. Described as an 'Old Castle' and shown located at the intersection of three townlands by Richard Wilson in 'A Survey of Bolyglass and Pallasmore Hill', conducted in 1773 (NLI 21.F.113 (13)). A trigonometrical station is shown at this location on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map. No visible remains at ground level.
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.
