Appraisal
Despite its ruinous condition, this castle still retains much of its early character and form. Built by the Geoghan family, the site is well defined by a distinctive bawn wall. The variety of facades and openings enlivens the structure. Its elevated siting, combined with its extent ensures that this building makes a positive architectural contribution to the heritage of the local landscape.
