The National Monuments Service's description
The estate of Killycloghan was granted initially to John Raleston but it passed to John Hamilton in 1613, who built a castle and bawn and a nearby enclosure. It was also known as 'Hansborough'. Davies (1948a, 107-8, ft. 259) places it in Corraneary townland but the Down Survey parish map (1656-8) of Kilbride shows a large castle and bawn at Kilbride. Its location is not known, but it may have been close to the church (CV023-026001-). For the Down Survey map see this web-page accessed on 11/04/2016. http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Clanchie&c=Cavan
