Is there anywhere to find out more info on it? A Knight Senior Member posted 08-02-2001 07:54 PM             There are two Castles in Cork - Castlemore next to the N22 and Castle More also known as Barrett's Castle - close to the N20. Best references I can find to these structures are - 'The Castles of County Cork' - James N Healy - ISBN 0 85342 876 8 - The Mercer Press 1988 and 'Archaeological Inventory of Cork - Vol III - Mid Cork' - ISBN 0 7076 4933 1 - Government of Ireland 1997. From your description next to a quary sounds like the first site. I believe I visited this castle in about 1988 - very dusty inside. ------------------ Andy Knight AJR Senior Member posted 08-03-2001 12:08 PM          Thanks Andy for putting the record straight. It just goes to show how important the Member's input can be. I got my info from http://www.fortunecity.com/bally/kilkenny/2/irecast2.htm based on the name of Castle More.
