Possible site of Anglo-Norman earth and timber castle built by William de Braose (de Briouze) which was later replaced by the stone castle of Coonagh (LI025-002002-) built by William and Matilda de Marisco in 1225 (O'Keeffe 2011, 95). O'Keeffe suggested that Coonagh Castle may have been the location of this earth and timber castle and stated that 'the site is flat ground that is bordered by a curving break of slope on its south side, and this raises the possibility of an earlier earth-and-timber castle with an enclosure of about 50m in diameter' (ibid.).
