The National Monuments Service's description
According to Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 343) a castle at Curracloe had recently been taken down, but this is the only reference to a castle. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 360 acres at Corroughtow were owned by Adam Waller, a Protestant, but there is no mention of a castle (Simington 1953, 117).
