A nice little castle, it doesn’t take long to look around but as it is in various stages of decomposition it is interesting to see and imagine the different levels/floor that once were.

This castle is in a beautiful location and it's a scenic drive to here, and worth coming to also see the nearby Nendrum Ecclesiastical Site (there's a parking area there, where we parked, and only a short pleasent walk away) I had visited several of these tower houses during this holiday but this was the only one without an information panel. However a quick check on Wikipedia revealed it was built in 1570 but abandoned by the early 17th century, so doesn't probably have the same degree of history as similar sites. We visited at low tide but would be curious to at high tide as there was quite a collection of seaweed caught up in the entrance gate! Site is free to visit.

A nicely kept building that’s easy to climb up and see into the second story. There is no car park but you can park at Nendrum and walk down to it. The history of the castle is on a post near the castle to learn more. Nice views of the area too.
