Dromore Castle, Tower house and national monument in County Clare, Ireland.
The four-story castle stands on a peninsula in northern Dromore Lake, featuring a vault over the ground floor and circular staircase.
Built in the early 16th century, Teige O'Brien of the O'Brien clan renovated and expanded the structure during the 17th century.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of Irish defensive structures, combining residential needs with military fortification elements.
The National Parks and Wildlife Service manages the castle as part of Dromore Wood Nature Reserve, located between Crusheen and Corofin.
The castle contains a stone fireplace in the first-floor chamber and circular shot holes cut into the stairs between floors.
