Carrignamuck Tower House, Medieval tower house ruins in Carrignamuck, County Cork, Ireland.
The five-story L-shaped tower house features battlements, machicolations, and narrow slit windows characteristic of 15th-century defensive architecture.
Built by Cormac Laidir MacCarthy, Lord of Muskerry, the tower faced bombardment in 1650 from Meeshal Hill during the Cromwellian campaign.
The structure belongs to a network of MacCarthy of Muskerry tower houses that extended westward beyond Macroom, reflecting medieval Irish nobility.
Located 2.8 kilometers north of Coachford village, the tower house remains private property and requires permission for visits.
The first floor incorporates a window frame from the former Church of Ireland parish church at Aghabullogue following 1866 renovations.
