Rockfleet Castle, or Carrickahowley Castle (Irish: Carraig an Chabhlaigh), is a tower house near Newport in County Mayo, Ireland. It was built in the mid-sixteenth century, and is most famously associated with Gráinne O'Malley, the pirate queen and chieftain of the clan O’Malley.[1]
Rockfleet Castle has four floors and is over eighteen metres in height. It is open to the public; the key is available at the nearby farm. The castle was installed with a metal walkway in 2015, from its adjacent grassland surrouning to its door, due to the sheer inconvenience of accessing its entrance during high tides.
