About
Carbury Castle (Irish : Caisleán Chairbre) is a ruined fortified manor house situated atop Carbury Hill (historically known as Fairy Hill or Sidh Nechtain) in the townland of Carbury, near the border between County Kildare and County Offaly, Ireland. The site comprises multiple phases of construction, including a 12th-century motte-and-bailey, a 14th-century stone castle, and a late 16th/early 17th-century fortified house. The castle is both a Protected Structure and a Recorded Monument under Irish law.
Carbury Castle was built in the 13th century by Pierce St. Leger.
