The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated castle within the townland of Castlecranna. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'the Walls of a Castle out of repayre' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 167). No visible remains of castle at Cranna House. It has been assumed that Cranna House was built on the site of the medieval castle but it is possible that the castle was located elsewhere within the townland.
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.
