The River Sewer runeth by the sd lands' in the 'colpe of Cloghcully' under the proprietorship of 'Edmond Butler of Cloghcully Esqr & his ffather Thomas Lord Barron of Cahyr Irish Papists' (Simington 1931, vol.1, 342). There is no visible trace of thes houses above ground in the vicinity of the former Cloghcully Castle (TS088-021001-).
