Bawn in Cloheenafishoge, County Tipperary

What is recorded here

On the N edge of a low natural ridge on the crest of a hill in rolling pasture. The castle (TS081-024----) is depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map (1840) as the 'Site of Cloheenafishoge Castle'. Only a short length of walling aligned N-S, of limestone and sandstone rubble, has survived. Both the internal and external faces have collapsed or been robbed. There is no visible evidence of any other remains. On the OS ortho image a roughly square bawn (dims. c. 47m N-S; c. 51m E-W) is visible as a cropmark, with the castle occupying the SE angle.
