- TS062-035 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Dug into an E-facing slope on a natural terrace. Indicated as 'St. Brogan's Well' on the 1840 and 1903-04 ed. OS 6-inch maps. Accessible along a mass path which consists of a high earthen walk-way with deep ditch on either side. This spring well (Wth 0.4m at rear, 1m at mouth; D 0.64m; H 0.75m) is defined by dry-stone walling which splays out towards the mouth of the well and is covered with corbelled limestone lintels. The outer lintels collapsed out when an adjacent ash tree fell. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 14 October 2014

Five bays with central doorway and end stacks. Windows are narrow, two panes wide. House is one room deep with central dog-legged stair and room to either side.

- TS062-036001 Castle - unclassified
Description
On level ground, land rises to W and NW in gently undulating terrain. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) Clonbrogan has 'a small old castle, wanting repaire' and the proprietor in 1640 was 'Richard Butler of Clonebrogan Irish Papist' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 198). In the grounds of Clonbrogan House there are several limestone architectural fragments of probable 16th-century date, including a chamfered jamb (L 0.37m x Wth 0.25m x T 0.21m) with glazing bar holes, a mullion (L 0.47m) with glazing bar holes and a chamfered window head or sill of a single-light window (Wth of ope 0.15m). It is likely that in the late 17th/early 18th century the castle was replaced by the present Clonbrogan House (TS062-036----). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 6 October 2014
