taken 10 years ago, near to Kildimo New, Co Limerick, Ireland
Castles of Munster: Ballyculhane, Limerick (1)
Best viewed from the air due to the amount of ivy that now obscures a bawn wall enclosing an area of 45m by 40m having square towers at each of the corners. On the south and SW sides are the remains of a two storey range containing windows and fireplaces. Google Maps view: Link
The castle once belonged to the Purcells until the 1650s, and was stormed in 1581 by the English who murdered some 150 women and children.
