Yes. I misread the requested format. I will use the name and facts supplied.
According to Adams (1881, 493) a castle stood near the present house called 'Castlemoate'. Tradition states that it also stood near a rath, which was destroyed by an Irish garrison to prevent being occupied by the English. In 1873 when it was levelled, four shillings, an Irish Halfpenny of William and Mary and a defaced 17th century token were found along with a narrow paved road. The exact location of this monument is unknown.

The castle near Cloghran, known as Castlemoate, was likely built during the early medieval period and may have been associated with local Irish lords before being affected by conflict during the 17th century. It is remembered for its proximity to a rath, which was deliberately destroyed by an Irish garrison to prevent its use by English forces.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
