What is recorded here

Castle, unclassified in Cloncurry (ikeathy & Oughterany By., Cloncurry Ed) was a stone castle built in the early 15th century that replaced a motte and helped form the Pale boundary by 1467. It was repaired in 1420 and valued at forty pounds in 1654, yet no visible trace remains. Whatever rooms, ladders or fires once filled it have vanished, leaving only the chance that it still stands buried beneath Cloncurry soil.

According to Bradley et al. (1986, vol. 2, 160), the functions of the motte (KD004-021003-) appear to have been replaced in the early 15th century by a stone castle which is referred to in various documents as having been repaired in 1420 and as being an important part of Pale boundary in 1467. It was valued at forty pounds by the Civil Survey of 1654 (Curtis 1933, iii, 29-30; Simington 1952, 199). No visible surface trace of this monument survives. While its precise location is uncertain, it may have been erected on the motte. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
