Castle Taylor was a 16th century tower house formerly known as Ballymcgrath. In 1802 the Taylor family added to it and much altered it. It was inhabited up to the 1930s. The original four storey tower house to the left side of the structure has had two large three-three light windows inserted in its east wall, the windows are said to have come from the churches at Kilmacduagh. At the right side of the structure is a balancing three storey tower, between the towers is a three-bay three-storey house, this house is now totally gutted. The castle has a large walled garden at the rear and a little further off is another walled yard and a stable block.
