Clonoghil is potentially multi-period containing a probable hall-house, surrounded by an earthen ‘bawn’ which is of uncertain date. Whilst Clonoghil is predominantly medieval, the site continued to be an important monument in the post-medieval period, including when it was used as a home by renowned glass makers the Bigo Family from 1623 AD. Since 2023 the Irish Heritage School have undertaken research at the site including photogrammetry and field-survey and geophysics, culminating in an excavation in the summer of 2024 when two archaeological cuttings were excavated at the site, within the castle and across the ditch and bank.
