Roscrea Castle, Gardens and Damer House, located in the heart of Roscrea in County Tipperary, one of the oldest towns in Ireland, featuring a magnificent stone motte castle dating from the 1280s. It was used as a barracks from 1798, housing 350 soldiers, and later served as a school, a library and even a sanatorium. Sharing the castle grounds is Damer House, named for local merchant John Damer, who came into possession of the castle in the eighteenth century. The house is a detached nine-bay three-story house over basement, built c.1730, with later five-bay two-storey U-plan wing to south-west. The grounds also include an impressive garden with a fountain, which makes Roscrea Castle a very pleasant destination for a day out. There is also a nearby restored mill displaying St Crónán’s high cross and pillar stone. Nearby within Roscrea, there is also a restored mill displaying St Crónán's high cross and pillar stone; this adds a further dimension of heritage within the town that can be explored and enjoyed by the visitor.
