About this place

Puck's Castle (Irish: Caisleán an Phúca) is a castle ruin in Rathmichael, County Dublin, Ireland. The castle is thought to have been erected by Peter Talbot in 1537, along with nearby castles on the Pale, to defend from the incursions of the O'Toole clan. The name 'Puck's Castle' is derived from the Celtic folklore spirit the 'Púca', which lends itself to local legend that the castle is haunted.
