roughan castle

Three storeys high, it consists of a central square tower with stout rounded towers at each corner, all of them well endowed with gun-loops. The exterior walls have a string-course above each floor, and there is an arch at the top of the south wall of the central tower. There are fireplaces in the first and second floors and, as that in the first floor is larger, were may presume that the main living quarters for the family were on the first floor. Note the small head carved on a stone under the second floor doorway leading to the south-eastern tower.
