The National Monuments Service's description
According to the Civil Survey (1654-56) in 'Ballylishine…standeth one stump of a Castle with any buildings', which in 1640 was in the proprietorship of 'John Birraghgra of Balylissine Irish Papist' (Simington 1934, vol.2, 235). It is also depicted on the Down Survey (1654-6) map and appears to be in the northernmost part of the townland.
