Liscarroll Castle

Liscarroll Castle is a 13th-century Hiberno-Norman fortress in County Cork, Ireland. Like many defense structures of the time, the castle was built to defend Norman territory to the east against attack from the west by resurgent Gaelic clans.

The castle was long associated with the Norman family of de Barry, in whose North Cork territory it lay. The castle was claimed by Sir Philip Perceval, who had mortgaged it from the de Barrys, in the early 17th century. In July 1642, at the start of the Irish Confederate Wars, Liscarroll Castle was seized by Irish Confederate forces commanded by Garret Barry.
