Ballinacarriga Castle, Tower house in Dunmanway, Ireland.
Ballinacarriga Castle rises as a stone fortification with thick walls, narrow windows, and defensive turrets positioned at each corner of the structure.
The castle, constructed in the sixteenth century by the O'Muirthile family, changed ownership multiple times following the Irish Catholic rebellion of 1641.
The eastern wall features a Sheela Na Gig sculpture, a medieval stone carving depicting a female figure, common in European religious architecture.
Located 9 kilometers from central Dunmanway, the castle grounds include parking facilities and picnic tables near a small lake.
The castle contains several defensive features including bartizans and a machicolation system designed for dropping objects onto potential attackers.
