Kilberry Castle is an imposing private mansion built in 1844 but does contain the remains of a 15th century L-plan tower house.

You should first seek permission from the owners for photos.

However, there are some very well preserved sculptured stones near the entrance to the driveway that are on public display and are well worth a look.
