Puck's Castle, Fortified house in Rathmichael, County Dublin, Ireland.
The three-story stone tower stands 9 meters high with a length of 10 meters and width of 7 meters in grazing pastures.
Built in 1537 by Peter Talbot, the fortified house provided defense against attacks from the O'Toole clan in the region.
The name originates from 'Púca', a Celtic folklore spirit, reflecting local beliefs about supernatural presence at the site.
Access requires careful navigation through Puck's Castle Lane, with limited parking available near the gated entrance.
Jane Eleanor Sherrard mysteriously disappeared while picking flowers near the castle in June 1867, never to be found again.
