13th century Anglo-Norman castle and gatehouse

This twin-towered gatehouse and bits of two ruined castle towers and wall stand proudly in a cleared farm field, easily visible but well back from the road. We couldn't wait to get up close to this grand structure but was stopped by two locked cattle gates and no clear right of way ! When knocks on the door of the nearest house did not solicit an answer, Jim got back in the car to find the owner to seek permission to enter. Fortunately permission was granted so we scrambled over the gates and thoroughly enjoyed the walk up to the ruins. The gatehouse is considered one of the finest examples of its type in Ireland. It is believed it sat in the middle of one wall of a rectangular enclosed courtyard.
