Colmanstown Castle (in ruins) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Colmanstown Castle stood as a square three-storey tower house beside a separate gateway in a hollow, waterlogged Dublin field until demolition in 1960. Its plastered rooms held fireplaces and wall presses above a barrel-vaulted ground floor, while two piers supported a broad arch at the entrance. The building vanished quickly, leaving only stonier ground and a lingering sense that the stream still borders the place where people once lived.

Situated in a hollow, waterlogged field of pasture bounded by a stream in the ENE. Colmanstown Castle was demolished in 1960. A pier of the gateway into the castle survived into the early 1970s (Healy 1974, 23-4). The site today is marked by stonier ground. McDix (1898, 40, 78) describes two individual structures at Colmanstown, a gateway or barbican and remains of a tower house. The gateway was formed of two pillars or piers with a broad arch; the tower house was square in plan, rising to three storeys with a barrel vault over the ground floor and a plastered interior. There were fireplaces and wall presses on first and second floors. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by Geraldine Stout
