From the Wikipedia article
Killymoon Castle is a castle situated about one mile (1.6 km) south east of Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, on the north bank of the Ballinderry River. It is located above the Ballinderry River with a back-drop of woodland and parkland. The garden front is dominated by an almost central battlemented, machicolated round tower and turret that protrudes from the facade. At one end is an octagonal tower with similar features; and at the other end (the front) is the square tower in the base of which is arched to accommodate a porte-cochére. This tower also has slender, octagonal clasping buttresses with cupolas. The windows are pointed, grouped together under segmental hood mouldings. An 18-hole golf course was built on the parkland, where British tournaments have been played.
