The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight E-facing slope. Ballinamona House, a four bay, two storey over basement 18th century house that was rebuilt after a fire in 1894 is thought to have been built on the site of a castle that was built in 1488, but there is no documentation (Bence-Jones 1975, 17-18). A single wall in the basement (L c. 6m; T c. 1m) with a base-batter is thought to be from the castle.
