Clare, O'Briens Castle

            This is the only Info I could find of this Castle:
The castle of Inchicronan became the refuge of the English of the parishes of Kilkeedy, Ruan, and Inchicronan. Siege was laid to the place by the O’Gradys, O’Shaughnessys, and the Burkes of Kiltarton, and the defenders were forced to surrender with the loss of many lives. Previously to the siege, Inchicronan castle had been occupied by a person named Heathcote, as tenant of the Earl of Thomond. According to this man’s statement, his losses amounted to £2,000, and were inflicted upon him by Turlogh O’Brien of Tullamore. Trusting to their honesty, he gave some of his cattle and other property for safe keeping to Dermot O’Brien of Dromore, to Cahall and Teige O’Roughan of Sunnagh, and to Richard Grady of Clooneen. He proceeds to describe the siege of his castle, which began on Sunday, the 13th of March, 1642, and alludes to the death of Richard Blagrave, a silver smith, who was killed on his way from Dromore to Limerick.
