Amazing stuff! Judging by all the open windows it was a hot day. I love ruins but it does seem a shame to see such a magnificent house in its heyday and now abandoned to ruin.

Niall McAuley said:
The NIAH says Detached three-bay two-storey country house, built c.1810, facing north, having bowed entrance bay, two-bay side elevations, slightly recessed single-bay single-storey addition to east end, and multiple-bay two- and three-storey additions to rear elevation, built onto front of four-storey tower house of c.1585, and makes a passing reference to the "Seymour mausoleum" nearby.

Niall McAuley said:
On the record for the Mausoleum, it says The family mausoleum of the Seymours, who acquired Ballymore Castle and its lands around 1700 and remained there until the early twentieth century, so the Seymours probably owned the castle at the time of this pic.

There seems to be several Ballymore Castles. I don't think this is today's Galway one -

Census for 1901 shows a house belonging to a WG Seymour in the townland, but it is vacant.
