Tully's Castle, 17th century castle ruins in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
Description
Tully's Castle is a 17th century castle ruin in County Fermanagh featuring a T-shaped plan with a square central tower. The structure includes barrel-vaulted rooms and rectangular defensive towers positioned along the walls.
History
The castle was built between 1612 and 1615 for Sir John Hume as part of the Scottish settlement in Ulster. It was attacked and destroyed in 1641 during the Irish Rebellion when local forces resisted the plantation.
