The National Monuments Service's description
Killagh Castle (WM013-107----) is depicted on the Down Survey map of Killagh parish where it is annotated as 'in repaire' and shown standing beside Killagh Church (WM020-025----) and Corn Mill (NLI MS 723-4). On this map the castle is depicted as standing on lands belonging to George Nugent who is listed in 1641 as an 'Irish papist'. The terrier of this map recorded that 'There is in Killagh a Corne Mill a Tuck Mill a Ruined Church and, a Castle in Repaire' (ibid.).
It is possible that the 'Tuck Mill' depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map is built on the site of the Tuck Mill mentioned in the terrier of the Down Survey.
