The next morning I got into the stage & returned to Limerick.
I had intended in this excursion to have visited Bunratty castle178 but the weather & other circumstances prevented me. It looks at a distance like four of the common castles of the country united by walls into a large [p. 148] square. On one side the connecting wall appears to be perforated with a large & lofty arch like that at Listowell.
