Lackeen Castle, Lorrha, Co. Tipperary
This Castle was built in the 12th Century and rebuilt in the 16th Century by John O'Kennedy.
The famous Stowe Missal, a 9th Century Mass Book, was found during the 16th century rebuilding.
The Castle stands in a bawn and is surrounded by the remains of a high wall, now part of a farmyard. A fine example of a Cromwellian farmhouse is located to the east of the Castle.
The Castle is situated three miles east of Lorrha village in Co Tipperary. It’s still in remarkably good condition and well worth a visit.
