What is recorded here

Clodah Castle is a square tower house standing almost five stories high in a field southwest of Crookstown, County Cork. Its fourth-floor fireplace bears the date 1598, marking at least part of the building as 16th century work. The MacSweeney family used it as their main seat, and dotted-line decoration around the entrance and windows gives the stone a quietly playful edge. It remains on private farmland, closed to visitors, but still vivid enough in form to suggest how tall and particular the household must have felt from the field below.
