Castle/fortified house
Castle/fortified house in Kilkenny, Ireland, dating from 1450–1550
Attached two-bay three-stage rubble stone fortified tower house, c.1500, probably originally detached with square-headed carriageway to left ground floor. Now in use as guesthouse. Roof not visible behind parapet (originally having taller parapet incorporating corner bartizan with parapet dismantled, post-1915). Ivy-clad random rubble stone walls with cut-stone stringcourse to parapet. Pointed-arch window openings (some paired; some slit-style) with cut-limestone surrounds having chamfered reveals, and fixed-pane fittings. Square-headed carriageway to left ground floor repaired with replacement cut-limestone lintel, and replacement tongue-and-groove timber panelled double doors. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
