Cloney Castle , Church & Graveyard
« on: Saturday 01 March 25 12:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi ,
I was wondering if anyone knew where Cloney Castle used to be in Cloney , Kildare ?
Has anyone ever seen a photo of it ?
I believe it is just farmland now but seen the graveyard is still there .

If anyone has any photos or knows where I can find any info on the castle it would be very much appreciated

Thank you

You can see where it was on the old maps on GeoHive

Just to the north of the graveyard, looks like a house and parking area are on that spot now.

The old maps are the four white squares on the black square.
