The National Monuments Service's description
Amongst the castles mentioned in the list of Galway castles of 1574 (Nolan 1901b, 118) is one at 'Clogran', then in the possession of 'Wm Grany McRic [Burke]'. According to Nolan (1901a, 46), 'Cloghran is a townland in Baunmore Demesne'. This would appear to be the td. of 'Cloghaun', 3km N of Claregalway, which is adjoined on N by the td. of 'Baunmore'. No castle is known in either td., though there is a moated site (GA070-030----) nearby. Not located.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
