Description: Castles of Munster: Burncourt, Tipperary In 1650 Clogheen as it was then called, was destroyed by fire by its owner Sir Richard Everard to prevent its occupation by Cromwellian troops. From then on Clogheen was known by the more appropriate name of Burncourt. As well as losing his fine home, the unfortunate Sir Richard also lost his life when he was hanged by General Ireton in 1651.
