the leaning tower of dough (lahinch) castle

 

This castle sits at the end of the Lahinch golf course (and is often called Lahinch or Lehinch castle, too, as far as I can tell). It probably dates to the early 17th century (no vaulting and wooden lintels) but it's likely that this later castle was built on the foundations of an earlier, more massive castle from around 1422.

Only two walls of this castle remain (behind a low fence), and it leans alarmingly.
