long. The rampart beyond it has a loophole. The west turret is a tall, thin 

 structure, recalling Dunlicka Castle, Kilkee, before its fall. The injuries to 

 the east window and south-east angle have cracked and settled the wall, 

 and the upper part leans southward and must soon fall. It is very irregular 

 inside, 7 feet to 7 feet 6 inches by 6 feet, the walls are only 3 feet 4 inches 

 at the faces, and 2 feet 6 inches to the sides. A ledge for a floor remains 

 4 feet 6 inches above the present ground ; another farther up has a decayed 

 old floor with a trap-door 1 resting partly on an offset and partly on flags, so 

 far as I could see in the gloom. It has lights to the north and east in the 

 top story, and one to the east in the middle story just commanding the outer 

 wall of the keep. A building adjoined it to the south, but is levelled. 

 Traces of a wall 276 feet long are at the east cliff with a well-built pier at a 

 salient angle at the end of the inner rampart and ditch. These lie 286 feet 

 away from the inner face of the keep; the wall is levelled and even dug out ; 

 the fosse is 12 feet wide and rarely over 3 feet deep, being filled with debris. 2

It only remains for me to acknowledge much kind help and hospitality 

 which 1 have received in collecting these notes, and without which they had

 of wood.
