Entrance to bawn wall with sheela-na-gig statue. A machicolation guards the entrance. Few traces of the bawn wall still exist, hence this entirely conjectural reconstruction. View from west.
A sheela-na-gig is situated in the western bawn wall. These exhibitionist statues were relatively common in Ireland. This one is modelled on one found at nearby Glanworth Castle, Co. Cork, a stronghold of the Old English Lord Roche, Spenser's nemesis.
View of knotted pleasure garden inside the bawn area, from the west and above.
Inside the pleasure garden. View from east of sun dial and bower.
Garden. View from east. Large ceramic planters are copied from Barryscourt, Co. Cork. Entry to bawn area is on the left, in the west wall.
View of garden bower (or 'pleasaunce'), west bawn wall and tower house from the north. The facing window in the tower house is situated opposite the 'Raleigh window' on the same floor. Like everything above it and the garden itself, it is entirely conjectural.
Turret at south-east corner of bawn. View from east. Note Irish-style crenellations, window and privy-chute exit.
Various views of the privy in south-east corner of bawn. A mantle hangs by the door.
