Clomantagh Castle, Tower house in Clomantagh Lower, Ireland.

Clomantagh Castle is a 15th-century tower house near Freshford, County Kilkenny, built in the 1430s. A 19th-century farmhouse is attached to the tower, and the complex includes additional outbuildings. Carvings on the walls include a Sheela na gig relief.

This tower was built in the 1430s and initially belonged to the Earl of Ormond until 1539. The property changed hands to Richard Butler and later faced confiscation during Cromwell's military campaign in Ireland.

The Sheela na gig at Clomantagh is a relief carving of a nude female figure on the castle's stone wall, described in the sources as a symbolic pagan image. Such carvings are found on medieval Irish churches and tower houses, and visitors can look for this one on the masonry while staying at the castle.

Clomantagh Castle is let as a whole by the Irish Landmark Trust, so the tower and the adjoining 19th-century farmhouse are yours for the stay rather than open to day visitors. The property stands on a working farm near Freshford, County Kilkenny; arrange arrival details with the trust in advance and expect to reach it by car on rural roads.

The castle's walls carry a Sheela na gig relief, a carved nude figure of a type found on medieval Irish churches and towers. It is one of the few such carvings recorded on a tower house in County Kilkenny.
