Site of Clonmullen Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Clonmullen Castle vanished completely, leaving no wall, trench or shadow behind. It sat on a rise in a stream valley in County Carlow, high enough to be seen and quiet enough to be forgotten. The land keeps the shape of that choice: a castle proud enough to build, then empty enough to disappear.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 On a rise in a stream valley. Indicated as 'Site of Clonmullen Castle' on 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. There is no visible trace of the monument at ground level.

Clonmullen Castle was built in the 17th century by the Blake family, who were prominent landowners in the area. The site is historically significant as it reflects the development of defensive and residential architecture in rural Ireland during the post-medieval period.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
