The National Monuments Service's description
According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) there was an ‘old ruined castle’ at Ballinloskran in Horetown parish that was owned by John Furlong in 1640, together with 240 acres (Simington 1953, 87). This is thought to be Tottenhamgreen as it is described as being between the Corrock River (river of Pill), Shanowle and Horetown. A grant of 478 acres in Ballyloskan was made in 1667 to a Charles Collins, who subsequently sold it to John Tottenham of Ballyduff, Co. Waterford (Jeffrey 1979, 95). The location of the castle is not known, although it may have been where Tottenhamgreen House (WX036-055----) was built c. 1700. (Bence-Jones 1978, 274-5)
