| 説明 | Animals grazing near an unusual structure, rectangular in shape with a small balcony on one corner, flat roof and two chimneys. A pier and sea/lake visible in the background.Fair play to you guys for spotting this one so quickly, I remember the other photo but did not put two and two together. Know as Gráinne Mhaol Castle - On a rocky headland at the harbour on Clare Island is the square tower which served as Granuaile’s (Grace O’Malley’s) castle. It is said that the Pirate Queen’s head is buried near this castle. This location was strategically vital, as it helped her control the waters of Clew Bay and the seas off the west coast of Mayo.We hear this is an Irish tower house, these type of house were usually designed to a standard plan: rectangular, three stories high with a vault over the ground level and topped by a pitched slate or thatched roof. The main living room is at first-floor level with access to the bartizans. The castle was converted into a police barracks in about 1826, which is probably when the purple slate flashing was added.Photographers: Dillon Family Contributors: Luke Gerald Dillon, Augusta Caroline Dillon Collection: The Clonbrock photographic Collection Date: 1860-1930 NLI Ref: CLON2160 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie |
