Ballinalacken Castle is a two-stage tower house of uncertain date but most likely built in the 15th or early 16th century. It is located on a limestone outcrop overlooking the road from Lisdoonvarna to Fanore in County Clare, Ireland in the grounds of Ballinalacken Castle Hotel. The name is taken from the townland where it is located, the original Irish version of which is Baile na Leacan, which means the town(land) of the flagstones.
