The National Monuments Service's description
The Civil Survey description of the lands of Kilcornan in 1640 describes an 'old castle irrepairable & some cabbins wast' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 364). It is possible that this reference is referring to the buildings within the ringfort (TS058-041001-), however this could also be a reference to an unlocated castle within the townland of Kilcornan.
