While out walking in the early morning sunlight last week, I spotted something that I haven’t seen as clear and obvious ever before. The remains of what was once the Norman era tower house that is Buttermilk Castle. I’ve written about it before
But here’s the photo I’m referring to from last Friday morning as seen from the Russianside, Cheekpoint. Taken at about 5.45am. I’ve added the arrow as it might not be so obvious to everyone.
And here’s some other photos taken from the site itself when rowing around the river which is about all an ex fisherman can do anymore around here!
Hope you enjoyed this little visual tour. Next time I might try shoot some video.
It’s on the left side if you are coming down from Ross. LOL.
Location is listed on the old OSI maps. I passed it a few times on my boat years ago before I realised what it was. Good read as always Andrew.
Thanks Seán, the river has a fair few secrets to yield to us yet I’d say
Never noticed it before! Thanks.
Very welcome, it’s only visible these last few years
