The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a rectangular building (dim. c. 20m E-W) which is described as the site of a castle on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in pasture on a flat landscape at the base of a N-facing slope. The field in which it was located is known locally as the 'castle field', but nothing is visible at ground level. Redmond (1895) speculates that it may have been built as a result of a land grant to John D'Evereux in 1229.
O'C. Redmond, G. (1895) Notes on the history, antiquities, archaeological remains and legends connected with the western end of the county Waterford, part II.WAJ 1, 119-32, 147-61.
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.
