About Leamaneh Castle

Leamaneh Castle is a 5-storey tower house located between Corofin and Kilfenora in County Clare. It is thought to have been built about 1480 by Turlogh O’Brien, King of Thomond. Very interesting, the structure was originally a 15th century tower house, and then transformed into a 15th century manor house. Located on a private domain, the site is rather confidential but well worth a stop.
