Feartagar Castle, Medieval tower house in Kilconly, Ireland
The five-story stone castle measures 12 by 10 meters at its base and features round defensive turrets at each corner of the structure.
The de Burgos family constructed this fortification between the 15th and 17th centuries until Cromwellian forces seized control in 1651.
The castle represents the architectural practices of Anglo-Norman settlers who established their presence in western Ireland through defensive structures.
Visitors can reach the castle by taking a 2.3-kilometer journey east from Kilconly or 8.4 kilometers northwest from the town of Tuam.
The structure contains two separate stone staircases and includes a projecting stone feature above the entrance door for defensive purposes.
