Castle in Clonbrick

Castle, unclassified

What is recorded here

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.
