Barntown Castle is located about three miles west of Wexford town on the main Wexford to New Ross road. It is a Tower House in ruins set in the middle of a grazing field. A Georgian mansion has replaced the castle as the residance of the local landowners. The ruins of the castle are used as a cattle shelter. Barntown village and towns land has a Roman catholic church and a national school. Close by, on the ridge of the hills south of the castle, is located a monument to General Clooney famous for his part in the 1798 Rising.
