Kilgobbin Castle, Medieval tower house in Stepaside, Ireland.
The fortified tower house features a single large room on the ground floor with a projecting corner tower containing the main staircase.
The Walsh family constructed Kilgobbin Castle in 1476 after King Henry VI provided grants for building defensive structures along the Pale border.
The castle represents architectural elements common to subsidized tower houses built during the late medieval period in Ireland to protect border territories.
Located on private land along Kilgobbin Road in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, the castle structure remains standing but without public access permissions.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered evidence of metalworking and pottery production dating from the 11th to 14th centuries.
