The village and surrounding area were once part of the large estate of the Carew family in the nearby, but now ruined, Castleboro House.

Today, the village contains a primary school, a Roman Catholic church,[2] and a small number of houses. The local Gaelic Athletic Association club is the Cloughbawn GAA Club.
