Also known as Vastina, this site sits 235 metres north of another medieval castle site, with the Glebe House positioned 200 metres to the east. What survives today is a curious mix of architectural periods; a section of wall that caught the attention of archaeologist Con Manning during his 1999 survey, which he identified as potentially medieval due to the presence of a relieving arch visible in its south face near ground level.

The castle’s history becomes particularly intriguing when considering the Ordnance Survey Letters of 1837, which describe a ‘Court’ that once stood where a schoolhouse had been built near the glebe house. According to local tradition recorded in these letters, this court was constructed around 200 years earlier and occupied by the Geoghegan family, before Captain Dillon purchased it from one of their descendants. The stones from this structure were reportedly recycled for the construction of Jamestown House, built by Kedagh McGeoghegan some 80 or 90 years before the survey. This practice of reusing building materials was common in Ireland and makes tracing the full architectural history of such sites particularly challenging.

The physical remains, as documented through various surveys, suggest a substantial structure once stood here. The 1837 OS map depicts what appears to be the north gable of Castle Kindalen running east to west, complete with what looks like a gable-ended chimney stack kicking out from its centre. Short sections of the eastern and western side walls are shown extending from the southern face of this north gable. Today, high sections of stone wall mark the site, now serving as field boundaries between properties. While an earlier Archaeological Survey of Ireland report from 1981 noted that there was little to definitively identify the remains as those of a castle, Manning’s later survey identified that sunken way running roughly east to west along the line of field fences, adding another layer to our understanding of this enigmatic site.
