Menlo Castle [..] was in existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Thomas Colman' (Nolan 1901, 115), although there is some debate as to the exact location of the original structure. It may have been incorporated into the later 17th century house.

GA082-064---- [..] In existence in 1574 [..] Athy (1914, 155-60) at first thought that it may have stood within the walled and battlemented square enclosure, 40m to E of the present ruined house. However, in a footnote, she also noted that 'the N wall [of the ruined house] and adjacent parts of the E and W walls, are 2ft [0.6m] thicker than the rest'. These walls [..] may well have been part of the original castle, later incorporated into the 17th-C house
