    which remains now is a high wall standing erect, an arch, and a small portion of a stone stairs. It is situated in a field called "Ballymullen " and it is said that the whole field was occupied by the castle at some time. the old people say that three foxy girls will be killed when the big wall of the castle falls. Others say that the nicest and most handsome girl in Tralee will be killed when it falls.
