The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating terrain, the River Suir flows NE-SW c. 150m to the N. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'There is on the sd lands an old castle a thatcht house with a Bawne about it' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 241). The 1640 the townland was known as 'Ballytarsny-Mckeorish' and the proprietor was 'Edward Boyton of Cashell Alderman. Irish Papist' (ibid.). The reference suggests that the house was within the bawn (TS060-116002-) which is associated with the castle (TS060-116001-), however, it is unlocated as the precise location is unknown.
