Deel Castle, Tower house ruin in County Mayo, Ireland

The remains of Deel Castle stand near the northern end of Lough Conn, featuring a rectangular tower structure with an additional eighteenth-century wing.

The Bourke family constructed this fortification in the sixteenth century, and it was later granted to the Gore family following the Williamite Wars.

The castle's name, translated from Irish as Caisleán na Daoile, reflects its location by the River Deel, maintaining local geographical connections.

The castle site contains structural elements from multiple periods, including a rusticated doorway and remnants of both medieval and eighteenth-century construction phases.

James Cuff built a separate house next to the castle in 1791, which was burned in 1922, leaving only the original castle structure standing.
