Ardcloyne Fortified House

OS 111: 11: 6; OD 0-40ft. South-east county Cork. 

Ardcloyne is the ruin of a fortified house; it is located in sloping pasture land situated just north of Whitecastle creek in south county Cork.  The house consists of part of a west wall 9m in length and a short return on the south wall. The south was is a little under 2m in length.  Both walls stand to second floor level.  In the west wall an inward splayed lintel gun loops at ground floor level survives.  The remains of a fireplace are located on the second floor with an inward splayed stone lintel gun loop.  The fire place is missing it lintel, it is of rubble masonry construction.  An open bartizan with Irish style stone rubble masonry crenulations supported on three tapering corbels stands atop the south-west corner. It was built in the early seventeenth century by the Roches of Kinsale (Fuller 1907, 15).
