Athclare Castle
Athclare Castle (or archaically ''Aclare'') is a Tudor tower house in the Dunleer area of County Louth in Ireland. Built in the 1550s, Athclare was built for the Barnewell family, and is typical of defensive architectural structures built in the Pale during the Tudor period in Ireland. Athclare has been extended and adapted in the centuries since its construction and is classified as a site of National social historical importance by the Irish ''National Inventory of Architectural Heritage''. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work= National Inventory of Architectural Heritage Website )〕
==The Castle==
The core of Athclare castle is a detached multiple-bay three-storey tower house, built on a rectangular-plan in the 1550s. To the east of the tower block is a hall containing early 17thC chimneypiece.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work= Louth County Council, County Development Plan, 2009 – 2015, Volume 2, Record of Protected Structures )〕
The 16th century tower house stands complete to the parapet with various loop insertions, including angle and cross loops, and there is also a ventilator at the upper level at the opposite end to the tower. Features of the castle also include a pitched slate roof, clay ridge tiles, red brick corbelled chimneystack, half-round gutters on corbelled eaves course, corbelled stone parapet to tower, random rubble stone walling, stone quoins, stone string course to parapet, pointed archways, square-headed window opening, arrow loops to north, south and east including decorative arrow loop to first floor south elevation, stone surrounds, a pointed arch door opening to south, and dressed limestone voussoirs.
The castle is still in partially residential use, and a two-storey house directly abuts it to the west. As a result, the castle features some relatively modern additions, including, circular cast-iron downpipes, a steel gate, square-headed door openings to north, smooth rendered surrounds, some uPVC windows, uPVC and timber and glazed doors, hipped and pitched slate roofs, random rubble stone walling, segmental-headed window openings, red brick surrounds, painted timber casements etc., as well as a collection of agricultural buildings attached to the old castle.〔 National Inventory of Architecural Heritgate, op. cit.〕
