What is recorded here

Wallstown Castle in County Cork is a rare unbroken settlement where a medieval tower house still stands inside the yard of a house built around 1780. The later embattled projections, gargoyle rainwater heads and lion-mask gutters make the front elevation look like a joking threat to ordinary life. The rear farmyard, ruined tower and stone outbuildings preserve a place where old defence and domestic pride never stopped overlapping.
