Ballinafad Castle in Co. Sligo, Ireland was built c1590 to a 13th century design by Captain John St. Barbe on land granted to him by King James I.
The castle was garrisoned by ten men and was partially destroyed by Red Hugh O’Donnell in 1595. The castle was again sacked in 1642 and fell out of use by 1680.
It is now a national monument under the care of the Office of Public Works.
