What is recorded here

Ballyglasheen Castle is a late 16th-century stronghouse in County Tipperary where Dorothy Shea owned the stones but tenant John Grove inhabited them in 1640. Its rectangular body, spiral turret, corner bartizan and machicolated doorway suggest a family that expected danger and answered it with brick and iron. The castle still stands beside a walled farmyard on private land, visible from the public road but closed to visitors, keeping its small violent history just out of reach.

Ballyglasheen Castle is recorded as a castle in County Tipperary. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.

Ballyglasheen Castle was built in the 17th century by the Butler family, who were prominent landowners in Tipperary. It is remembered as an example of early Irish country house architecture and as part of the historical landscape associated with the influential Butler dynasty.
