The National Monuments Service's description
According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) a castle at Dunganstown as well as 240 acres in Dunganstown, 120 acres in Ballykelly, 60 acres in Whitechurch, and 60 acres in Poulmaloe, all in Whitechurch parish, were owned by Arthur Keating, an Irish papist, in 1641 (Simington 1953, 183-4, 193). It is the only reference to this castle which remains unlocated, although a house is marked on the Down Survey map at Dunganstown.
