The estate of Killycloghan was granted initially to John Raleston but it passed to John Hamilton in 1613, who built a castle and bawn and a nearby enclosure. It was also known as 'Hansborough'. Davies (1948a, 107-8, ft. 259) places it in Corraneary townland but the Down Survey parish map (1656-8) of Kilbride shows a large castle and bawn at Kilbride. Its location is not known, but it may have been close to the church (CV023-026001-). For the Down Survey map see this web-page accessed on 11/04/2016. http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Clanchie&c=Cavan

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
