Kilcash Castle

Kilcash Castle er ruinen af en borg, der ligger ved siden af N24 road umiddelbart vest for Ballydine i County Tipperary, Irland. Den ejes af den irske stat.
HOvedbygningen er et forskanset tårn[1] fra 1500-tallet.[2] En tilstødende hal blev tilføjet på et senere tidspunkt, da bygnings forsvarsmæssige betydning blev mindre og man i stedet prioriterede store vinduer.[3] I 1500-tallet blev herregården Kilcash konfiskeret fra Wall-familien efter de Irske Forbundskrige, og blev givet til Butlers of Ormond. Denne familie solgte senere borgen til den irske stat for £500 i 1997.[4]
