Ardfinnan Castle
Ardfinnan Castle is an Anglo-Norman castle founded in 1185 on a rocky incline above a ford of the River Suir in County Tipperary, Ireland. The site includes a rectangular keep, curtain walls, a circular 13th-century preceptory tower at the eastern corner, and the ruined remains of western towers and a great hall; the site and grounds are a private residence today.

As it stood in 1200
The shape it held in its prime.
Built of grey-brown dressed stone, the castle forms a rough parallelogram on a steep rocky rise above the River Suir, its tower-house (rectangular keep) rising above the tree line with a crenellated parapet and vertically aligned narrow windows. Curtain walls connect corner towers; a cylindrical 13th‑century preceptory (round tower) sits at the eastern corner. To the west are low, ruined walls of two towers and a collapsed great hall; the riverbank below holds a mill and bridge.
