| Description | A Bourke castle, restored by James Cuffe in 1752 and sold to the War Office in 1821 for use as a military barracks though a barracks existed there in the 18th century as Wilson refers to the town having a barracks with two companies of foot in 1786. The barracks were valued at £75 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It ceased to be a barracks in the 1920s but substantial ruins of the buildings remain. |
