Liscarroll Castle

Liscarroll Castle is a 13th-century Hiberno-Norman fortress in County Cork, Ireland.

[2] After the subsequent Battle of Liscarroll, the castle was recaptured by British forces commanded by Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin.

The castle is the subject of an 1854 poem by Callaghan Hartstonge Gayner which concludes: Beneath its folds assemble now, and fight with might and main, That grand old fight to make our land "A nation once again", And falter not till alien rule in dark oblivion falls, We’ll stand as freemen yet, beneath those old Liscarroll walls.

[3] During the Irish War of Independence, the castle was used as a military outpost by a detachment of 17th Lancers.
