It is said to have covered about 180 or 185 feet square thus Covering an area of almost an acre of land. This castle is said to have been derelict for the past 350 years or more, as the information obtainable indicates that it was burnt by the Scots in the service of a Connaught Governor about the year 1579 or ,80.

   In one of the Towers it is said there was a sycamore tree supposed to be used by the O’Garas for hanging malefactors. There was a dungeon there also.
