What is recorded here

Castle, unclassified in Tobermacloughlin is a castle in County Roscommon, Ireland. The Strafford map of about 1636 places it at Tobermacloughlin, whose eastern part was called Attyduffe. In 1641 the Earl of Clanrickard owned 114 acres across the two areas, and that family kept the land through the Cromwellian settlement. The castle itself has not been found, but it may still lie beneath grass, water or forgotten ground.
