• LF018-005 Castle - tower house
  Description

  In low-lying pasture overlooking a stream from SSE–S–NW. In 1621 Connell McMurogh O’Feroll received a land grant including the ‘castle and lands of Bealalcare and a water-mill’ (LF018-102----) (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 533). The castle is depicted on an early 17th-century map of Moydow barony (BL, Cotton MS Augustus I.ii.28). It is a rectangular tower house (ext. dims. c. 9.5m NW–SE; 7.4m NE–SW; wall T 1.85m) constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble. As a result of collapse, only sections of the NW and NE walls survive to a height of three storeys. Few architectural features are evident but the lower section of the NW jamb of a doorway is visible close to the S end of the NW wall. Immediately inside it, to the N, there is a large rectangular alcove. At first floor-level, in the NE wall, there is a simple rectangular ope. Compiled by: Patrick F.
