• LA029-017 House - fortified house
  Description

  Situated in slightly undulating countryside attached to W end of Tintore House. A Fitzpatrick castle (Wall T 1.3m) (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 66-67), three storeys high with base-batter and attached to W end of Tintore House. Inward projecting NW angle contains fireplaces. Described by Carrigan as 'Tintore in Irish, signifies the House of the Togher or Causeway. The castle of Tintore is part unroofed, and in part modernized and incorporated with Tintore Ho. One of the narrow cut-stone loops of the under storey is still preserved. Within the castle lies a large fragment of a cut stone, chamfered slab, on it is inscribed in relief, the date "14 May, 1635'. This must be the date of some improvements in the castle, and not the date of the castle itself, as the 'Castrum de Tentowre' is mentioned, as already existing, in 1621 (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 66-7).
