As a history nerd I'm appreciative of the fact that I live in a bit of a goldmine area for curiosities of many types. This is Drumharsna Castle, County Galway. I can't find a link that doesn't have slightly gruesome pictures so for those interested, you may Google "Loughnane Brothers". What I can tell you is that this was a Black and Tans headquarter during the War of Independence in Ireland.

And to counterbalance the macabre nature of my earlier photo, below is the Kilmacduagh Abbey roundtower. Got a bit bored this afternoon and went on a magical history tour whilst herself had some beef in the oven.
Per website;
Kilmacduagh sits at the edge of the Burren, dominating the rural landscape some 5km south-west of Gort, in Co. Galway. In the medieval period, it was the most important church of the Uí Fiachrach Aidhne, a powerful local dynasty who held lands that stretched from the Atlantic coast to the mountains of the Burren and Slieve Aughty. By the twelfth century, Kilmacduagh had an enclosed settlement with the main church at the centre, at least three subsidiary churches, a round tower, the grave of the founder, Cólmán mac Duach, and a well dedicated to him. The settlement was transformed when the main church was enlarged as a cathedral and a monastery for Augustinian canons was established in the thirteenth century.
