Dating from the 15th century, Tromra Castle near Quilty.
This structure is less of a castle and more of a peel tower although some of its side buildings have now disappeared. Although said to date from about 1460 there are records which indicate that King Torlough Mor O'Brien spent the night here some 200 years earlier at a building on or near the site. Look, there is so much history attached to this building I could go on forever - let's just say it is very old and lots of stuff happened around here.
Although this is a listed monument and is under the watchful eye of conservators etc I must confess to being a little worried for its future survival given that it still seems to be used as a shelter for cattle and is crumbling away unprotected from the elements. I really hope that Clare County Council can find the funds and desire to save it from destruction. It's a really beautiful place.
DIY 5x4 pinhole camera was used to capture it on film.

It's a tragedy that it seems to have been neglected. I think the owner may not be interested in dealing (or cannot afford to deal) with the problem and may not want their property opened up to make the public more aware of it. Hopefully, eventually before it's too late, the owner and relevant parties will come up with a solution for the benefit of all!0 -

Belbridge spanish point...has to be one of the best looking bridges in the county...
Never seen a pic of that bridge before. That's really amazing thanks.
Edit to add I had a look online for the history of the bridge. It's very unusual for rural Ireland right? Couldn't find anything except this old photo below where it's called ballyclougne bridge. It's the bridge on the quilty road I'm assuming?
