Earthwork in Toonagh (bunratty Upper By.)

Earthwork

What is recorded here

Coonagh Castle has vanished except for an oval grass platform at the south end of a low ridge in Toonagh, Bunratty Upper By. The earthwork measures 18m by 6m and still stands 1-3m above the land beside it. A castle may have risen there, but no wall or room remains to prove it. The ridge keeps the shape of a lost building while the building itself has returned to grass and scrub.
At the S end of a low N-S ridge with rock outcrop. Oval grass and scrub-covered platform (dims. 18m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1-3m). This is the site of Coonagh Castle (CL034-094002-). Compiled by: Michael Moore and Leo Morahan Date of upload: 11 December 2014
