Description

Kilkerran Castle is a cottage built around 1825, featuring a single storey and attic with three bays, and a two-storey battered square former lighthouse tower at the rear. The front is painted cement-rendered with lined droved ashlar margins, while the side and rear elevations are roughcast. There is a band course at the eaves, raised margins around the openings, and projecting cills at the windows on the entrance front.

On the northeast (rear) elevation, there are single-storey additions flanking the tower. The addition to the left has two bays, with a window in the left bay, and a lean-to entrance porch with a small pointed-arch window in the right bay. There is a shallow projection at the centre of the tower at the first-floor cill height, with a narrow window at ground level, an eaves course, and decorative cresting.

The cottage features timber sash and case windows, with modern four-pane windows at the front and plate glass windows at the rear. It has a grey slate roof with modern timber box dormers featuring plate glass casements on the rear pitch, and a pyramidal bellcast roof with a finial on the tower. The gables have roughcast coped apex stacks, and there is an additional stack that is corbelled out from the centre of the northwest elevation of the tower, all topped with decorative octagonal cans.

There are also single-storey outbuildings adjoining the cottage, consisting of two and three bays set at an angle to the rear. These have roughcast walls, with the three-bay building featuring a projecting porch at the centre and a corrugated-iron roof. Both buildings have roughcast, coped stacks with octagonal cans.

A fragment of the castle remains within a rebuilt random rubble garden wall.
