Summary

Description
English: Fortified house (majiculations at Corner) 1 bay deep, adjoining ivy grown building of same height


This is Monkstown Castle, Monkstown Co.Cork, the location was identified courtesy of [/photos/8468254@N02/ derangedlemur]

[/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet] suggests machicolations rather than majiculations.

A machicolation (French, machicoulis) is a floor opening between the supporting corbels of a battlement, through which stones, or other objects, could be dropped on attackers at the base of a defensive wall.

In another one of Sharons links (NIAH) they are called, Bartizans - "gabled towers with corner bartizans to each corner"
