The ruins of Green Castle (aka Northburg Castle) lie on the side of the main road running through Greencastle, Co. Donegal, and next to a new housing estate currently under construction.

I’m going to post a few more photos of Grianan Ailigh, I really like the imagery conjured up at this site. The entrance to the site on this somewhat wet day provides the first glimpse of the green expanse within and the three-terraced walls encircling the enclosure. Copyright © 2007 Photos By Kim
