Castles of Munster: Kilcash, Tipperary

Kilcash dominates the landscape to the north of the main road between Clonmel and Kilkenny. This very fine Butler tower of six storeys, dates from the late C16 or early C17, and is currently undergoing restoration. There are remains of an attached later two storey house and fragments of a bawn to the north. There is a circular bartizan on the SE corner of the tower, and a box machicolation high above the entrance. Of the four chimneystacks, one is a later insertion originally from a fireplace in the upper storey of the attached house.
