Tellarought Castle ( Irish Caisleán Thulaigh reacht even Talleraght Castle ), the ruins of a tower house about 10.8 km southeast of New Ross in Ireland's County Wexford . The ruin stands on St. Brigid's Terrace in a field next to the cemetery of the Catholic Church of St. Brigid . The Tower House may date from the Norman period. There is a sacred spring near the castle ruins , St. Brigid's Well, to which the inhabitants of the area attribute healing powers. A small stream flows under the access road next to the castle ruins.

Tower House is believed to have once belonged to William Devoreux of Talleraght , who is known to have been pardoned in the Elizabethian Fiants in 1597 .
