Charleville Castle

Riamfada

Hey Im just looking up things about Charleville on the old 6inch maps (1834-1852) and 25inch (1998-1913). There is a farmyard and workshops between the caslte and the "grotto" does anyone know if these still stand and also St.Barthlomew's Chruch the far side with a path leading to the castle.

There is also a hoyl well closeby. Possible links to the prehistoric ritual aspects of prechristian ireland.

I also cant find any features on the road like what I found the last time we were there. Ill bring my diggin gear next time

Well, I know there's a farmyard not too far from the castle, although I dunno if it's original or not, although I do know it's owned by Hutton-Bury.

6th

Grimes is it the farm beside Toblerone Tower?

Nope its the far side of the Castle. It seems you would have to pass it to get to the 'Grotto'. Tobelerone Tower. I like that.
