Huntington Castle
Huntington Castle stands in the valley of the River Derry, a tributary of the more famous River Slaney, on the borders of Counties Carlow and Wexford near the village of Clonegal. The site was previously occupied by an abbey and a fourteenth century castle, built to guard a pass through the Blackstairs Mountains on the route from Dublin to Wexford. The castle is actually a large, late tower-house of rough-hewn granite, altered in about 1680 and again in 1720, when it was given a regular fenestration and a long wing was added on the northern side.
