Structure

What is recorded here

Kilcloony Castle still casts its shadow across the southeast bawn, where a narrow rectangular structure waits beneath grass and memory. FitzPatrick drew a broader square enclosure in that same sector, suggesting the castle once commanded a wider courtyard or workshop than modern eyes expect. The building may have stored tools, housed servants, or marked a boundary now forgotten. Its exact purpose has faded, but its shape remains clear enough to challenge the idea that castles stood alone.
Located in the SE sector of the bawn (GA016-062005-) associated with Kilcloony Castle (GA016-062001-). A rectangular structure (8.5m N-S; 3.9m E-W) was noted in this area of the bawn on a site inspection in August 1980 (SMR file). It may correlate with the 'square enclosure' (c. 21m E-W; c. 15m N-S) recorded by FitzPatrick (2019, 22-3, Fig. 31). Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 2 December 2022
