Castles of Munster: Castletown Coonagh, Limerick
The remains of this castle in a farmyard lies close to the Cahernahillia River south of Doon. The view is of the interior, as access to the exterior on the opposite side was not possible on this occasion. Although generally known as an O'Brien castle from their later occupation, it is in fact a Norman keep dating from c.1200 its east end wall still standing over 60 feet in height.
