McDermott's Castle | Lough Key | Co. Roscommon | Ireland - DJI Air 2S Drone Video 4K

McDermott's Castle is a castle and protected national monument located in County Roscommon, Ireland. The site of a fortification since at least the 13th century, the structure's tower house may date from the 16th century, with much of the current building (including its crenellations) dating to the 19th century.
The standing remains on the island date from at least three distinct periods. The enclosure wall around the island are the earliest standing remains. O'Conor et al. argued that the enclosure wall is probably of medieval construction, but the wall has not been dated, and the excavations by Finan and Schryver were not able to connect the enclosure wall to their excavations. O'Conor et al. identified a late medieval tower house on the interior of main standing building. An arrow slot and medieval windows are found on the western wall of this tower house. The additions on either side of the tower, as well as the kitchen on the eastern side of the tower, were added by the architect John Nash in the early nineteenth century to form a summer house. At that time, windows were inserted into the later medieval tower house. The enclosure wall was modified on the northern end of the island in order to provide a view from the main window inserted into the tower. The summer house, as built by Nash, burned down during the mid-20th century.

Incredible! It looks so well preserved, probably because it is so remote and almost unreachable. Really beautiful, thanks for sharing 😁

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated. Yes, no issues flying over the lake, just keep in mind the park nearby gets crowded at times so I would keep distance to people there.
