On flat pasture with good views in all directions and nearby Dead River c. 50m to the S. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) in 1640 this was a 'castle demolished' whose proprietor is listed as Cromuck Ryan of Bonnovoy (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 53). A 19th-century two-storey farmhouse was constructed on the site of the castle, apparently using the stonework from the castle. Punch-dressed jamb stones of 16th/17th-century date have been reused in the doorway and as quoin stones for the farmhouse. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

Cromuck Ryan of Bonnovo held Clonbrick Castle in 1640, at a time when it had already been demolished. It is remembered from the Civil Survey (1654–6) as an example of the disruption and loss of medieval structures during the turmoil of the 17th century in Ireland.
