The Castle rests on about half an acre of land, surrounded by low walls and hedges: with a gated entrance controlled by an electronic security system. The land is laid to lawn, with well maintained shrubs and rockery. It has 3 murders holes and a dungeon. The castle is presumed to have been built in the late 15th century (approximately 1480). It is a Norman castle and was probably built by the DeBurgo Family The first written record of ownership was to a Redmond Regough Burke. To the south west of the Castle lies Ballindooley Lake. It had the distinction of being shelled by the British Gunboat ” Helga” during the1916 Rising to disband rebels who were supposed to be gathered there to march on the city.
