Thursday Challenge ~ Old
The following info comes courtesy of Pam of Ramblings and Other Things
The castle of Leimaneh, formerly the residence of that branch of the O’Briens from which Lord Inchiquin descends, is situated also in the parish of Killinaboy. It is in a tolerable state of preservation, and its size and surroundings attest the importance of the family by whom it was inhabited. In 1580 it was the property of Teige, son of Murrogh (the Tanist, first baron of Inchiquin). An inscription is found over the entrance porch in the following words:—“This was built in the year of our Lord 1648, by Connor O’Brien, and by Mary-ni-Mahone, wife of the said Connor.”

What a positively charming photo!
A sense of serenity comes right off the screen when you look at the photo.
Love all the moo cows.
Take care,
