What is recorded here

Curraghcloney Castle stands as a ruined round tower house above a sharply falling slope in County Tipperary, overlooking the marshy valley that gave the place its name. Belonging to the Prendergast family and first mentioned in 1640, the structure may date to the 15th or 16th century, though two stories still rise above the vaulted floor where the rest has collapsed. The remnant sits on private farmland yet remains freely visible, inviting visitors to read the lower window and empty air for lives the stones no longer speak.
