    Google says Clare Streetview Doonagore Castle was restored in the 1970s according to Wikipedia
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    This seems to be a very geographically challenged castle - French had it in Co. Galway, this sketch claims Co. Antrim, whereas this catalogue page says Co. Dublin.

    Me arse it is... Doonagore Castle in Doolin, Co. Clare. Even back in those days @@galwaytourism were trying to claim the Burren as theirs, including the Cliffs of Moher.

    Is this the wall? Among the invitations to contractors to tender in the Galway Express - Saturday 5 March 1887
    To build 8 breeches breaches of retaining and protection wall on the road from Clifden to Westport, between the barony meeting meering and Leenaun Hotel. Not to exceed £l2.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Spooner it sure could be! Good value, I am not sure you would get 8 suitable stones for £12 now. I wonder what "8 breeches" meant?
