The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated castle within the townland of Manselstown. Castle mentioned in the Civil Survey of 1654-6 where it is described as 'a Castle irrepaireably demolished, it is altogether waste without Impvement' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 51). In 1640 James, the Earl of Ormond was the proprietor of these lands which were mortgaged to Gerrald Comerford of Shanballyduff (ibid.).
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.
