OCrowleys Castle (in Ruins) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Ahakeera is a ruined tower house belonging to the Crowley clan, sitting on a steep slope in West Cork. Ivy now covers the remaining north wall and short east and west returns, hiding the hard stone beneath green life. The building still holds two ground-floor window openings and a first-floor fireplace, proving it was once a real home rather than a bare defensive marker. People may have lived there, argued there, and warmed themselves at that central fire before the castle collapsed into the hillside.

Fragmentary remains of tower-house at base SW facing slope with higher ground to W and NW. North wall (11.7m E-W) survives to 1st floor level; short returns to E (int. 4.2m) and W (int. 2m) walls; ivy clad. Remains of two lintelled window opes in N wall at ground level; central fireplace on 1st floor. A castle of the Crowley clan (Healy 1988, 280).
