"Bunraite [Bunratty] is a large oblong strong pile of
building well defended by four strong towers built into the angles.
It is in good preservation, the whole roofed in and until lately the
residence of the Studderts of Bunratty. There is a police station in
part of it at present. It is about four miles south west of Six Mile
Bridge on the road between Limerick and Ennis. The foundation of Bunratty
is (except the form of the towers) like Tír Dá Ghlas
as given in the Dublin Penny Journal, vol 2, December 7, 1833."
