What is recorded here
Situated at the crest of a slight N and E-facing slope down to the N-S Owenduff/Corock river, which is c. 300-350m to the E. There are no murage grants for Clonmines and it might not have been defended, but at the W side of the town a N-S field bank (Wth c. 2m; H c. 2m) has a flat bottomed fosse or ditch (Wth c. 4m; int. D c. 1m) on its E side running N from the graveyard that has the fortified church (WX045-012006-) and St. Nicholas’ parish church (WX045-012007-) (L c. 200m). This would cut off the town on a bend of the E-W Owenduff river c. 500m N of the churches.
