• TN028-084001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on flat pasture in an upland area with good views. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) the proprietor of the castle was Theobald Butler of Killoskehane and the ruins were described as 'a castle, a stone house in repayre & ye ruines of a decayed mill a garden and sevall cabbins there runns a little brooke neere the house' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 23). A well-preserved seventeenth-century tower house (ext. dims. 10m NW-SE; 12m NE-SW; wall T 2m) three storeys high with a six-bay, two-storey early eighteenth-century house added to the W end, both of which were re-modelled in the nineteenth century. The tower house, with external base-batter, was accessed at the N end of E wall which led to dog-legged wooden stairs from which the upper floors could be reached. All main chambers were originally lit by windows set into deep embrasures which have been heavily modified. A mural passage at first-floor level in the E wall gives access to a garderobe in the centre of the E wall. A doorway in the SE angle of the second floor leads to a battlemented wall-walk with crow-stepped gables. A datestone on the front of the house stating 'Built 1600, rebuilt 1865' dates the construction of the tower house and modifications made to both buildings (Craig 1972, 46; Stout 1984, 133-4; Bence-Jones 1988, 171, 298).

  Description

The 1654-6 Civil Survey (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 23) describes 'a stone house in repayre', along with a castle owned by Theobald Butler of Killoskehane. A two-storey, six-bay early eighteenth-century house was added onto the W end of the tower house (TN028-084001-), with datestone on the front of the house inscribed 'Built 1600, rebuilt 1865'. The first date refers to the tower house and the later date indicates when modifications were made to both the house and the tower house (Craig 1972, 46). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
