Castles of Munster: Togher, Cork

This was a MacCarthy castle or tower house, built in about 1590; a MacCarthy family crest still exists in the entrance hall dating probably from the castle's occupation in the C19 W1957 : Castles of Munster: Togher, Cork - revisited (3). Various alterations and additions during this occupation resulted in enlarged window openings, diamond shaped chimneys, and more recently a corrugated iron roof that will at least help to preserve the structure.
