Described by Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 374) as ‘the ruins of Clonleman castle’ on the island of ‘Clondra’ and situated near the remains of the church (LF013-018----). Gray (1943, 23) noted that a ‘hamlet called Castletown stood on the island [Cloondara] near the Shannon at the Longford end of the Tarmonbarry bridge. The ruins of a castle called Clonleman still remained here about a hundred years ago and is very possibly the same as the Clenlonan which is mentioned in one of the Patent Rolls’. Its precise location has not been identified.
