ballynacarriga castle

A fine four-storey castle which is said to be older than the date of 1585 given in a window-recess on the top floor.
It was built by Randal Hurley who married Catherine Cullinane. She may be the person whose initials are given as 'C.C.' in a window inscription on the top floor.

The carvings and decorations in these windows are the most unusual feature of this castle; one shows a woman with three roses, thought to be Catherine Cullinane and her three children, and the other has a representation of the Crucifixion and the Instruments of the Passion.
This top floor was used as a church until 1815. There are remnants of a round corner-tower of the bawn outside the entrance.
