The precise location of Clondrinagh Castle has not been identified. A tower house-like structure standing beside a cluster of dwellings (LI005-045002-) is depicted in this townland on the 17th century Down Survey map of the Barony of North Liberties (NLI, MS 718; Westropp 1906-7, 82). The RMP map for Co. Limerick identified a cluster of dwellings [ITM 553435/658475] immediately N of Pigeon Hill as the possible site of Clondrinagh Castle. No surface remains visible of any tower house at this location and no supporting cartographic evidence to suggest that this was the precise location of Clondrinagh Castle.
