The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a S-facing slope. In the Civil Survey of 1654-6 Carrowncashlane was part of Ballyknock which was owned in 1641 by Darby O'Brien of Kilcomeragh (WA015-043----), but a castle at Ballyknock is not listed (Simington 1942, 66). This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims. 7.6m E-W; 6.95m N-S; max. H 3m) reduced to the ground-floor level with evidence of a window and wall-cupboards in the S wall (T 1.65m), and a doorway in the W wall (T 1.5m). A rectangular enclosure (WA031-007----) adjacent to SW may have served as a bawn.
