What is recorded here

Kilfinny Castle is a ruined tower house in County Limerick, Ireland, where a 13th-century vaulted chamber still stands beside an Elizabethan tower. During the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Elizabeth Dowdall defended the castle for forty weeks against Col. Patrick Purcell of Croagh, surrendering only when a captured cannon broke through. The castle later became a disused farmyard, leaving its vaulted rooms overgrown and open to whoever walks past.
