It’s a wonderful walk up into the battered remains of Dunamase

The view stretches out across County Laois for miles around

This is the remains of the 13th century rectangular tower - made of massive masonry.

A square tower remains to the west.

As pointed out by a prominent archaeologist, the two lintel sections over the arch are of different design.

This is probably a 15th Century addition.

Dunamase is the first stop - it's a busy exploring day ahead so it's time to crack on!

I quietly pack up and head off to the next location.
