What is recorded here
Croom Castle has a house tucked inside its medieval defensive walls, which is a fierce response to ‘Your mother might drop in.’ Most couples start with moving a bit further away.
Attached two-storey house, built c. 1800, within the bawn of the medieval Croom Castle. Rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings with stone sills. Stone chimneystacks. Crenellations to walls, may date to nineteenth century.
This house is of architectural importance as it remains relatively intact. It retains its archaeological significance as it was built within the bawn of the medieval Croom Castle.
