Tully's Castle

Castle

What is recorded here

Tully's Castle is a tall narrow tower in Clondalkin, Dublin, built in the sixteenth century and owned by the Tully family through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Its blocked windows, Irish crenellations and weeper holes suggest it was once part of a larger tower house where people climbed stairs, kept watch or escaped danger during the raids by the Byrnes. The ruins now form a garden wall for a modern house, turning a place of warning into an ordinary boundary that still carries the shape of fear and pride.
