O'Dea Castle
O'Dea Castle (Dysert O'Dea Castle) is a late 15th-century Irish tower house that served as the O'Dea clan stronghold near Dysert, County Clare. Built on a small limestone outcrop beside the remains of Dysert O'Dea Monastery, it was damaged in the 17th century and later restored in the 20th century and now functions as an archaeological centre and visitor site.

As it stood in 1490
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall, rectangular tower house of roughly 50 feet (15 m) in height rising directly from a compact limestone outcrop (approximately 20 by 40 ft). Vertical, coursed grey limestone walls with narrow slit windows punctuate the façades; an arched stone entrance sits at ground level. The roofline is finished with a crenellated parapet. The tower stands adjacent to low stone monastery buildings and is set in rolling pastureland and fields of County Clare.
