The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) parish map of Dungarvan in the S part of the N portion of the 17th- townland of Cloghlea, which equates to the modern townland of Cloghala (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). The terrier accompanying this Down Survey (1655-6) parish map describes, 'on Cloghlea a large castle in repaire’ and lists ‘Redm[on]d Archdeacon & W[illa]m St. Leger’ as the proprietors in 1640 (NLI MS720). The castle is unlocated within the townland.
