The National Monuments Service's description
According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) in 'Carrigtearhy' there stands 'a Castle' which in 1640 was under the proprietorship of 'Robt. Prendergast of Carrigtearhy Gent' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 325-6). The Down Survey map (1655-58) of the Barony of Glenahiry in County Waterford depicts ‘Carigateiry Castle’ near the River Suir and across from where the Waterford townlands of ‘Ballydonahy’ and ‘Arpadeene’ meet. The modern townlands of Ballydonagh and Ardpaddin in County Waterford are across the River Suir from the townlands of Greenmount, Garrancasey and Moloughabbey in County Tipperary. The castle is unlocated in these three townlands, though it is most likely to have been in the southern part of Greenmount or in Garrancasey, there is also a possibility it was in the northern part of Moloughabbey townland. It is possible that the armorial plaque (TS088-075----) currently located at Kenilworth House in Geenmount townland originally came from Carigateiry Castle.
