Property for sale includes a Gothic bridge and old estate walls

Right across the road from the imposing 17th-century pile of Kanturk Castle (built, but never fully completed, by McDonagh McCarthy as a defence against the English), a 23-acre roadside land parcel is new to the market with Blarney-based auctioneer Dan Fleming.

The North Cork market town of Kanturk is well known for its vibrant agricultural scene, in a part of Co Cork where a number of other similar-sized market towns bear witness to the strength of the fabric of progressive rural life in this part of the world.
