Its trefoil windows and corbelled roof reveal a builder who valued both beauty and ancient Irish stonecraft, while Captain Brabazon restored the structure after the Irish Rebellion of 1641. The castle still stands as a National Monument, inviting visitors to walk its village streets and imagine the retainers, fears and daily life that filled its compact rooms.
