The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of Streamstown Castle has not been identified. The castle is depicted on the 1655 Down Survey map of Ardnurcher parish where it is described as a 'castle in repaire' (NLI, MS 723-4). The castle is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. There is no evidence to suggest that Streamstown House was built on the site of the medieval castle.
