Sandymount Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Freestanding round-plan three-stage castellated folly tower, built c. 1850, with remains of walls to north and south. Roughly-dressed rubble limestone walls with cut limestone corbelled parapet. Square-headed openings with cut limestone voussoirs.

This folly forms an interesting and imposing silhouette in the landscape. The ashlar masonry, especially those of the machicolations are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. Built as a folly tower for Templemore Abbey.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
