dromaneen castle

It is an L-shaped tower with a fine fireplace on the first floor and three-and-four-mullioned windows.
At a later stage the eastern portion with its finely moulded gate was added to form a bawn to the east of the tower.

It suffered much in the Rebellion of 1641, when it was taken from the O'Callaghans and granted to Sir Richard Kyrle, and later it was sold to Richard Newman of Cork.

It was restored after 1694 by Dillon Newman, after whose death it was used to garrison soldiers, but it was abandoned shortly afterwards.
