Roscrea Castle

13th-century keepless castle in Roscrea, County Tipperary, Republic of Ireland. A tall rectangular gate tower and a portion of the curtain walls with two D-shaped towers survive of this well-preserved ruin. The castle was granted to the Butler family in 1315. It was captured by the forces of Oliver Cromwell in 1650 but was given back to the family after 1660. In 1722 it was purchased by the Damer family, who built Damer House inside the castle walls.
