| Summary: | View of the ruins of a castle and what looks like a church in the distance, on Ballinchalla Island, Lough Mask, County Mayo, Ireland. Ground-floor plan u.r. on drawing. The location Ballinchalla is now better known as Inishmaine, an island in Lough Mask joined to the mainland. The centre of the picture consists of a tower of probably four storeys, with a large entrance doorway giving access to the area to the right. There is a further wall to the left also with a doorway. This entrance gate, partially covered in ivy, is shown in the ground-plan. On the extreme right is the chimnied gable of what we may take to be a much later domestic house. The entrance gate dates from the late Middle Ages. The upper half of the tower only survives in part. |
