What is recorded here
Johnstown Bridge carries a small, rectangular window-head with a round chamfered opening, perhaps carried from the lost castle in Clonagh two miles west. The stone may have watched riders, weather and forgetting before men reset it in a modern wall. It still frames a narrow column of light, keeping a room alive that no longer exists.
Incorporated into a modern wall in Johnstown Bridge village. A small, rectangular window-head (dims. Wth c. 0.4m; H c. 0.25m), containing a chamfered, round-headed ope (diam. 0.15m). It may have come from the castle site (KD003-017----) in Clonagh townland, two miles to the W, from where the nearby armorial plaques (KD004-002----) are said to have originated.
