Geocache Description:

Burnchurch, County Kilkenny.

This is a 15th or 16th century castle built by the Burnchurch branch of the FitzGerald family. It is six storeys high, and has an unusually large number of passages and chambers inside the walls. There is a 'secret chamber' off the fourth floor and a fireplace and round chimney (the latter possibly a later addition) on the top floor. A walled courtyard was originally attached to the castle, and of this the 41 foot high circular turret near the castle still remains. The castle was last occupied in 1817.
