“Cloncorrick Castle, the property of Pierce Simpson, Esq., by purchase from Major W. Irwin. This castle was built by the O’Rourkes, and here resided John O’Rourke, son of Thady, the last of the family who lived in any degree of splendour, until, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, at a Court of Claims held at Carrigallen, he was deprived of his estate and declared illegitimate, on the evidence of Abbot Macaward. The castle has received such additions and alterations as scarcely to leave a feature of its original character.” (Lewis, 279)

LSO: “Near Clooncorrick House there is a grave in which a King is said to have been interred. He was slain in a combat with another of the same rank at Mullach an Dá Rígh, or the Hill of the Two Kings, and it is said that the Townland of Cluain Comhraic, or Cloon of the Combat, received that name from their contest” (207)

"Arch. Inventory: “Castle (site). On rock outcrop in an undulating landscape. Shane Oge O’Rourke received a grant of 1800 acres as the manor of Clooncoric in 1629 (Cal.pat.rolls Ire., Chas., 511), and he or his descendants may have built a house here in the 17th century, although he was at least the fourth generation of the family resident here (Burke, 1884, 762). A building was added in the 18th century, but all structures were removed c. 1920. It is not visible at ground level.” (lch.204) Crannóg (43-44) Standing stone pair. (King’s Grave).

"Pinkman: Cluain-Comhraic = Meadow land of the combat. Cómhrac, a combat, a fight at close quarters. O’Donovan relates that a grave was pointed out near Clooncorick house, in which a King had been buried. He was slain, so the tale goes, in a fight with one of the same rank at Mullach-an-dá-righ, Mullandaree, hill of the two Kings. This place is in Clooncorick townland, and the townland is said to have taken its name from this event. "

“A meeting of any kind would be designated by comhrac; and from this general signification come two of its principal secondary meanings:- first, the meeting of rivers or roads; and second, a combat, i.e. the meeting of opposing sides in battle. We have these two meanings perpetuated in local names, and it is often impossible to distinguish them without some local history or tradition to guide us. But it is certain that far the greater number of such names are derived from river confluences. The Four Masters, at the year 1473, have a record of a battle between the Mac Rannals and some of their neighbours, fought near the village of Carrigallen in Leitrim. The people still retain a vivid tradition of this event, and point out the townland of Clooncorick near Carrigallen as the scene of the combat. Here we have history and tradition both agreeing; and although historical names very seldom originated so late in the fifteenth centiru, yet we can hardly avoid the conclusion that the place go
