Cormac Laidir MacCarthy, the founder of Blarney Castle, is said to have built this late 15th century tower now standing in the grounds of Dripsey Castle.
It is situated on a rock on the bank of the Dripsey, and is surrounded with trees, forming an interesting feature in the picturesque scenery of the parish.
It was during a bombardment by Lord Broghill in 1650 that the east wall was breached.
