"Castleforbes is situated about 5 km from Longford town and stands between Newtownforbes and the River Shannon. Built to the design of John Hargrave from Cork, Castleforbes is a 19th-century structure of cut limestone. The entrance gateway of the castle is French style which is about one mile (1.6 km) from the castle itself. There are some narrow windows in the shape of an arch as well as the remains of some English style windows."

There are French/Lawrences in the catalogue like L_CAB_08263 which would be before 1925. The front wall to the right of the tower looks flat in the Monkey, not in the older Lawrence.
