Kearney's Castle is a late 15th century tower house standing on the east side of the main street in Cashel. The tower house was modified in c.1600 and again in about 1990. It is a five storey building with two caphouses, running from west to east. The castle is also known as Quirke's Castle. It was held by the Kearney family in the 17th century. Thomas Kearney was Alderman of Cashel in 1640. Lord Inchiquin, the Irish Protestant commander, is believed to have used the castle as a base, in the Sack of Cashel, during the confederate wars. Father John Kearney, a member of the Gaelic family, was hanged within the castle in 1652.
