Geocache Description:


Carlow Castle is situated on the banks of the River Barrow near Carlow town center, in County Carlow, Ireland. It was formerly one of the most impressive Norman castles in Ireland, but only the western wall and two towers survive. The castle is now the imposing centerpiece of a major urban renewal programme.

The castle is a detached four-bay, three-storey four-walled keep with flanking drum towers. It was built of coursed rubble masonry with slit opes, mullioned windows, cross loops and castellations. Originally, the keep was a two-story building, with a third story added in the 15th century. The eastern half of the castle was undermined and collapsed in 1814. The western half, with its flanking drum towers survives to its full length. The castle was almost entirely constructed of limestone. It is sited on the artificially levelled summit of a rocky knoll, at the confluence of the rivers Barrow and Burren
