| Summary: | Dunmore reports on excavation at above, and reinterprets the dating for the elements of the castle. The east parade or bastion with batteries on east and south sides, and part of the fabric of the north east bailey wall were built in the Civil War by Thos. Bushell. The dating of the keep remains a problem: it may have been rebuilt in the Civil War. Castle in poor repair by 1775. In early 19th century Irish labourers lived in the castle. In mid 19th century interior of keep levelled to bedrock, and three cottages built inside it. |
