What is recorded here

Carrigeen Castle stands above Cahir as a former bridewell built between 1812 and 1816, using crenellated towers and curtain walls to make imprisonment look like knightly defence. It closed as a jail in 1878, became an officers' residence, and later a guest house, yet its stone arrows and heavy gates still suggest a place designed to be feared. The building turns ordinary residence into a stage for danger, inviting visitors to imagine which fears were real and which were merely shaped from limestone.

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