MenuClough Castle, Down
Clough Castle is a ruined Anglo-Norman castle in the village of Clough, County Down. The site consists of a motte with a bailey to the south and a tower house on top. The motte rises 26ft above its surrounding ditch and is about 80ft across at the summit. The foundation of a long rectangular hall was found in the north-east half of the area, probably built in the mid-13th century, and later in the century a small rectangular stone keep was built to the south-west. The site was deserted in the early 14th century until the early 16th century when the stone keep was rebuilt as a tower house. The monument is in the care of the Department for Communities. The monument is within the council area of Newry, Mourne and Down.
