Kiltinan is one of the oldest inhabited castles in Ireland, having been built in the thirteenth century [REF].
Apart from the architectural attraction of the castle itself, other interesting features include a fine example of a castellated gateway entrance at its main entrance, its dovecote (pigeon house) which dates from the fifteenth century, its Sheila-na-Gig stone, and its pet graveyard, which dates to the early twentieth century [REF].
