Carrigaphooca Castle

Carrigaphooca Castle (Caisleán Carraig a' Phúca in Irish, meaning Castle on the Rock of the Fairy ; the word Púca may mean a Ghost, Fairy, or some other type of Spirit) is a ruined five storey rectangular tower house, situated on a steep-sided rock, and located 6km west of Macroom, County Cork, Ireland. Carrigaphooca was built in 1436, reputedly by Donal McCarthy of Drishane.[1] In 1602, the castle was attacked and taken by O'Sullivan Beare.[2]

During the 1970s, the Office of Public Works undertook restoration of the site, and added a fight of steps leading over the rock base, joining with the main entrance.[3] The ground floor chamber is lit by small off-center windows, and is flanked by a straight mural stairs which rises as a spiral to the 4th floor level.

A stone circle lies two fields to the east of the castle.
