The National Monuments Service's description
The town of Clonakilty was founded by the Earl of Cork and already had a corporation by 1605; it received a charter from James 1st in 1613 (Smith 1750, vol. 1, 251). The town does not appear to have been walled and is not listed by Thomas (1992). No recognisable 17th-century buildings survive in the town. (Zajac et al. 1995, 24)
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
