Carrickkildavnet Castle, Tower house on Achill Island, Ireland
The stone tower house rises 12 meters high with three levels, featuring vaulted ceilings and defensive walls overlooking Achill Sound.
Constructed by the O'Malley clan in 1429, this fortress served as a strategic stronghold for Grace O'Malley during her control of the Irish western coastline.
The castle represents medieval Irish military architecture and stands as a testament to the power of the O'Malley clan in County Mayo.
Located at the intersection of Clew Bay and Blacksod Bay, the castle exterior remains accessible to visitors throughout the year.
The castle features a single access point to upper levels and contains a mural chamber with defensive loops designed for controlling maritime passages.
