COUNTY WATERFORD, IRELAND.
Dunhill Castle had an interesting and chequered history. The la Poer’s (Power) of Dunhill were infamous in the 14th century, as they launched many attacks on Waterford City.
In 1345 they destroyed the area around the city but were counter-attacked, taken prisoner and hanged. The remaining members of the Power clan join forces with the O’ Driscoll family. This alliance would attack Waterford many times over the next 100 years, with both success and failure. After a defeat in Tramore in 1368 the castle passed to the Powers of Kilmeaden. It remained in their control until the Cromwellian attack on Dunhill and its first capture (legend of gunners and buttermilk) in 1649.
Fate of last Lord of Dunhill and Kilmeaden, John Power, and his family were unknown. The Castle and lands were then given to Sir John Cole with the church given to Waterford Corporation. Cole and his descendants never lived in the castle and the church was disused, with the result that timbers rotted and both fell into ruins during the 1700’s. More deterioration was recorded in 1912 when the east wall of the castle collapsed during a storm.

The remains of Dunhill Castle Co. Waterford Ireland during the magic night of Oct 10th. My first experience to see the northern lights with the naked eye. A spiritual experience.

This photo was taken for a themed challenge of a tabletop photography group. I don’t remember exactly what it was, for it must have been something like “clothing and accessories”.
From front to back, you can see in approximate order:
. half–moon glasses by Lunor (Germany), mod. 219, color 02;
. cufflinks, gold and cornelian by Cartier (France) and gold and lapis–lazuli by Dunhill (Great Britain);
. Braun Series 8 electric shaver (Germany);
. Terre d’Hermès Cologne by Hermès (France;
. silk tie by Hermès (France);
. Burlington Argyle socks (used to be Great Britain, now made in Germany);
. Musto HPX foul–weather jacket for sailing;
. Harris Tweed jacket with authenticity seal and serial number.
Composite shot made of 12 focus–stacked exposures, using the built–in function on the Nikon Z7. Stack processed with Helicon Focus, Method C.
Strobist and technical: one Phottix Pro Indra500 monolight on a Profoto light stand in Rembrandt position to camera left, 1.5 meters from subject and 1.3 meters above it, firing at 1/8 power through a Phottix Pro 150–cm Raja parabolic softbox with double diffuser; and another Indra500 studio strobe on a Profoto tabletop light stand in lateral (slightly backlit) position to camera right, 1.5 meters from subject and at about the same height, firing at 1/8 power through an Andoer gridded snoot.
Strobes set and triggered via Phottix Pro Odin II radio controller on the Nikon Z7 hot shoe, manual mode. Sekonic L–858D light meter used to balance light sources. Gitzo GT3543 XLS tripod with Arca–Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Nikon Z7 camera body, 35mm f/1.8 S lens.
The castle was built by the la Poer (Power) clan in the early 1200's. There is some evidence of an earlier fort on the hilltop also. The town's name is derived from the Irish translation of the fort of the rock. Only about half of a 15th century tower remains with bits of outer walls dating to the early 13th century.
In 1345 the Power clan destroyed the area around Waterford but were counter-attacked, taken prisoner and hanged. The remaining members of the clan join forces with the O'Driscoll family. This alliance would attack Waterford many times over the next century, with both success and failure. After a defeat in Tramore in 1368 the castle passed to the Powers of Kilmeaden. It remained in their control until the Cromwellian attack on Dunhill and its first capture (legend of gunners and buttermilk) in 1649. Dunhill castle was not able to withstand a siege by contemporary artillery.
