Description A 17th century fortified structure, this castle was remodelled probably in the early 19th century. James Gartlan was resident here in the 1830s. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation circa 1860 the occupant was Anne Kelly who held the property from William Brownlow. The buildings were valued at £7. A widow, Rose Kelly, was resident at the beginning of the 20th century. In the latter half of the 20th century the castle was unoccupied for many years but in recent times it has been repaired and become a family home again.
