In its prime, the castle was inhabited by the Barrett family, who had control of the local area.[1] The castle still stands today, albeit largely in ruin.[2] The original keep still remains, as does most of the curtain wall and two towers. An earlier castle may have been built on the site by Sir Robert Coll, a Norman knight, whose name also likely influenced the name of the town of Ballincollig (Baile an Choillaigh or the 'Town of the Colls').[3][4] While a date for this original construction is not confirmed, by 1468, the Barrett family purchased Coll's estate lands at Ballincollig, and improved and extended the castle site.[3][5] The main structures of Ballincollig Castle were constructed at this time.[5] The bawn (enclosure) and tower house are located on a limestone summit,[1] which has a line of sight over the low land of the Maglin Valley. Beneath the castle there is a natural cavern which runs into the rock, and around it the remains of a moat.[6]
