Liscarroll Castle, Medieval fortress in County Cork, Ireland
The rectangular structure measures 240 feet by 120 feet and features four rounded towers at each corner with walls reaching 30 feet in height.
The De Barry family constructed this fortress in the 13th century as part of a defensive line against attacks from Gaelic clans in the region.
An 1854 poem by Callaghan Hartstonge Gayner mentions the castle walls as a symbol of Irish resistance and freedom.
The castle entrance contains a barrel-vaulted passage through the square tower, positioned in the middle of the southern defensive wall.
Underground passages exist near the castle structure, though their entrances are currently sealed for safety purposes.
