Summary

| Description |
English: Castles of Munster: Lohort, Cork Also known as Castlelohort, this spectacular 90 foot round-cornered five storey tower can be found on the Castlelohort Demesne near Cecilstown. After being taken by the Irish, it was recaptured in 1650 by a Cromwellian force, who described the castle as having immense strength, a presumed reference to its resistance to bombardment with cannon during the engagement. With walls 10 feet thick at the base, tapering to 6 feet, its no wonder the castle shows little sign of this incident. In the 1740s its then owner the Earl of Egmont renovated the castle as a residence for his agent, and it remained in use until burnt by the IRA in 1922. |
