Clonea Castle

Clonea Castle was in Clonea parish roughly two and a half miles east of Dungarvan in County Waterford, Ireland.[1] Muriel Bowen was born at Clonea Castle.[2]

The castle lay on the coast by Clonea Beach, and while some of the structure remained into the late 20th century, the remaining ruins were destroyed by a winter storm in 1990.[3]
