What is recorded here

Clonbulloge still hides an unlocated castle despite appearing on the Down Survey map. That absence is not a failure of record; it is a reminder that ownership and memory can outlive visible stone. The land may have kept its shape while human hands forgot the entrance.

Unlocated castle within the townland of Clonbullogue that is marked on the Down Survey (1654-7) map (NLI, MS 716). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
