View of the enclosed settlement known to Dineley as Ballynclogh, Ballyneclogh or Ballinclough, now Ballynaclogh, a parish in the barony of Coonagh, Co. Limerick. There is a tower house on the right. A gateway on the left-hand side and a barred gate in the foreground lead into a courtyard bordered by low buildings and trees. Beyond the gateway, on the left, lies a field crossed by a road leading to a further closed gate. There is a pond on the right. A piece of printed plate representing a large tree has been pasted on the drawing, in the foreground. <br><br>This site can no longer be identified with certainty, although it may well be connected with a series of earthworks noted by the Archaeological Survey in a few fields some 400 meters south-west of the ruins of Ballynaclogh Church. Dineley places it five miles from Abbey Owney or Woney, a short mile from Grain Church, and about ten miles from Kilmallock. <br><br>Source: <br>Archaeological Survey of Ireland, at http://webgis.archaeology.ie/NationalMonuments/FlexViewer/, records LI024-185, LI024-227, LI024-228, LI024-190001.
