What is recorded here
Corbally Castle has surrendered its stones to grass and scrub, leaving only a broad sub-circular platform at the east end of a low hill in County Clare. A north-south road now bisects the remains, cutting through what may have been a hall, a courtyard or a crowded life long forgotten. The earth rises slightly toward the northeast, perhaps marking the highest room or the place where people last looked outward.
At the E end of a low hill. Sub-circular grass and scrub-covered platform (dims. 21m N-S; 16m E-W; H 0.4m at W to 2.3m at NE) bisected by a N-S road. This is the site of Corbally Castle (CL034-089002-).
