Ballymoon Castle
Explore the ruins of Ballymoon Castle, a 14th-century fortress with thick granite walls and square towers. Families can walk around the courtyard and imagine what it was like long ago.
This ruined castle dates back to the 14th Century. The castle comprises a courtyard about 80 feet square, with surrounding granite walls, 8 feet thick and 20 feet high. Square towers project from three sides while a formidable gatehouse is the feature of the fourth. Access from the road via a small timber footbridge.
The interior of the castle is now bare but originally featured two-storey structures built up against the inner walls. The castle was most probably built by Roger Bigod or by a member of the Carew family.
