    Carlow Castle is an immense building situated near Graigue Cullen. It appears to have been a rectangular building with drum towers at each corner.
    The Castle is a very old building. It was founded in the 11th century by Hugh de Lacy. It was established to protect people from invasion. The Castle had very thickly built walls and it was only a very short time that they were knocked down.
