Castlepook
(Redirected from Castle Pook)
Castlepook or Castle Pook is a Norman style castle built in 1380 by the Synan family.[1]
The castle stands at coordinates 52°15′13″N 8°33′51″W / 52.25356°N 8.56405°W, a few miles north of Doneraile, in the foothills of the Ballyhoura Mountains in County Cork, Ireland.
Castlepook is made of limestone, with a stone vaulted roof which is still intact. There was once a spiral staircase made of stone in the southwest corner.[1] Much of the smooth stone (such as was used for the stairs and window / door frames) has been removed by vandals.[citation needed]
