What is recorded here

Inishcrone Castle stands as a ruined three-bay fortified house from around 1650, its corner towers still watching Killala Bay through the missing east wall. The massive chimney breast and diagonal flue cans remain intact inside the hollow shell, proving the residence once generated heat and life despite its defensive origins. Farmland surrounds the elevated site, creating a striking contrast between domestic warmth and military vigilance in the western landscape.

Detached three-bay two-storey stone fortified house, built c. 1650, now ruinous. Rectangular on plan with circular towers to north-west and south-west corners. Traces of steeply-pitched roof on west gable, rubble stone chimneystack on west gable with two diagonally-set cans. Rubble stone walls, east wall missing. Square-headed window openings, rubble stone voussoirs to flat arches. Square-headed door opening with rubble stone voussoirs to flat arch. Floors missing from interior, massive chimney breast on west gable. On elevated site surrounded by farmland and overlooking Killala Bay to west.

These fragile remains of a corner-turreted transitional fortified house, retain some particularly interesting features such as the chimneystack and interior chimney breast. It is a striking feature in the landscape.
