The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a rectangular structure (dims. c. 15m E-W; c. 10m N-S) and described as 'site of Castle' on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. There are no historical references to a castle here, but the land was owned by Garrett Fitzgerald of Dromana (WA029-021001-) in 1641 (Simington 1942, 75). Situated in pasture on a gentle S-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
