Description
Near the town of Killarney is Ross Castle, a tower house surrounded by walls with round towers. There was an old prophecy that the castle would be taken only by an attack from the water. In 1652, taking advantage of this, Cromwell's General Ludlow had a large boat brought up and launched in the Lower Lake: whereupon the defenders, seeing this as a fulfillment of the prophecy, at once surrendered.

The castle contains 16th and 17th C. oak furniture.
