About this Stone

One of Ireland's best-preserved medieval tower houses, this 15th-century castle was once the stronghold of the powerful Earl of Desmond. Set along the River Deel, the structure showcases impressive stone walls, a great hall, and a rare banqueting hall—architectural remnants that offer a vivid window into the life and ambitions of Irish nobility during the medieval period. The grounds carry the weight of centuries, making this a compelling destination for anyone drawn to Ireland's feudal heritage.
