What is recorded here

Kinlough Castle is a four-storey tower house beside the Black River where Sir John MacOliver Burke added corner fireplaces during a 1574 remodelling. Its battered base still holds weapon loops, while common swifts now crowd the upper chambers and exclude people from the best rooms. The castle has passed through Burke, Blake and Darcy hands, but it belongs more vividly to the quick birds that turn a military stronghold into a living nest.

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

Kinlough Castle was built in the 17th century by the Browne family, who were prominent landowners in the area. It is remembered as a fine example of early Irish country house architecture and as part of the historical landscape of County Mayo.
