Milltown Castle (in ruins) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Milltown Castle was an L-shaped tower house inside a cashel on a limestone crag in County Limerick. It has been reduced to ground level, and most of its stone may have been carried away to build Altavilla House in the 18th century. What remains is a absent shape: a room, a chimney and a boundary line hidden under grass, pasture and time.

In pasture, on limestone crag on gentle SE-facing slope. This L-shaped tower house stood in SW quadrant of cashel (LI020-004001-) has now been reduced to ground level. Westropp (1906-7, 208) described the remains here as 'fragment of an old house, with a tall chimney' but it seems most of its stone was used in the 18th century in the building of nearby Altavilla House (Donnelly 1994, vol. 2, 152).
