Glanworth Castle : from "Castles in County Cork", Vol. 04, no. 04 : graphic
Transcript of text: - GLANWORTH. Smith. Vol.I. p.351. The ruins of a sumptous castle, built by the Flemings, and afterwards owned by the Roches. There are some buildings, and a high tower erected on arched vaults. Around it is a strong wall flanked with turrets. - Lewis. Vol.I. p.655. An ancient seat of the Roche family. A quadrilateral area enclosed by strong walls nearly 6ft. thick at each angle is a round tower. It was one of the last garrisons in the south that held out for the King, but was besieged by Ireton and surrendered. - Cork Jour. 1897. p. 169. Windele says: an irregular square, enclosed in crumbling ramparts, three of the angles defended by round towers, containing an arched room lit by slits. At the N.W. angle was a square tower. There are two distinct Keeps, one in the middle, square, of limestone mixed with a small rubbly stone. Almost total absence of windows, one a plain lintel headed opening. The other Keep is ruined, and seems to have been an oblong building with a slender tower projecting to the North and containing small rooms. - Cork Jour. 1912. p.168. This district belonged to the O'Dugans and O'Kiefs. After the Norman Invasion it was granted to Fleming, his heiress married Roche, a soldier of fortune, who built many castles. A quadrilateral area, enclosed by strong walls, defended at each angle by towers. Inside it is a square tower. There is also another tower of recent date, which contained the state apartments. - 1937. The tall narrow tower is now little more than an angle, with one side completely destroyed, and the small vaulted room below exposed. The outer walls and parts of the turrets still remain. The large old low square tower, very strongly built, is in fair condition. The buildings are perched on a high rock above the river. - Download size (PDF): 264 KB. Image no Vol_04-04. -
