What is recorded here

Ardmayle Castle was a fair mansion with orchard and garden belonging to Theobald Butler until the 1641 Rising shifted its fate. Its ruined walls still show machicolations, shot holes and fine mullioned windows, proving that defence and comfort shared the same house. Standing fifty metres from the River Suir, it faces water like a guard post, remembering the turbulent times that shaped Ireland.
Ardmayle Castle is recorded as a castle in County Tipperary. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Ardmayle Castle was built in the 17th century by the Butler family, who were prominent Anglo-Norman lords in Ireland. It is remembered as part of the extensive network of Butler strongholds that played a key role in the control and defense of the region during the early modern period.
