Background
Architecture
Tullykelter (from the Irish Tulaigh Chealtchair) is in a townland in the Monea area carrying its name on a hilltop about a mile southwest of Monea Castle in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Tullykelter Castle is now in ruins with heavy overgrowth which makes inspection very difficult. It has two main floors 60 by 20 feet on the inside.
