  Description

  Situated on the N bank of the E-W Glenary River, which is immediately to the S. Traditionally, the name is thought to be derived from a church of the Cistercian monastery of Inislounaght at Clonmel, Co. Tipperary. At the suppression of the monasteries the land in Glenary was granted to Edward Gough, and the Goughs still held land in Glenary in the 1650s. By the 19th century the land was owned by the Carey family, who probably built it. It is described as Glenabbey House on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and is commonly known as Carey's Castle. The remains consist of two small blocks separated by a gateway into the walled garden which lies to the E. The S block of three storeys is small and has a projecting semi-circular tower attached at the W, which is not a stairs tower but has a cap like a round tower. Nor has the S block any fireplaces, but it has a corbelled false bartizan at the NE angle. Additional rooms in structures to the S do not survive, but they had bay windows on the S overlooking the river. Communication from the S block to the N was at first floor by means of a narrow passage over the gateway below. The N block is as constrained as the S with rectangular windows with stone surrounds and simple false crenellations. Compiled by: Michael Moore. Date of upload: 26th August, 2010.
