What is recorded here
Templeconnell Castle is a five-storey tower house in County Cork, Ireland, built for the Magners and seized by the Percivals in 1656. Its interior walls have collapsed, leaving large gaps that expose the empty heart of the structure while ivy swallows what remains of the outer shell. The castle now stands on private farmland beside bogland, denied to visitors and fading back into the earth that first held it.
