Not worth specifically taking a detour for, but it is right beside Daft Eddy's which is nice for a pit stop. There are lovely views over the Lough and some niche walks.

Sketrick Castle is a towerhouse type monument approached by a causeway onto Sketrick Island, surrounded by the familiar green of the Environment and Heritage Service’s fences and signs. The castle is thought to date to the 15th century; it stood fairly complete until 1896 when a storm damaged the structure.

It was previously a four storey high building with a boat bay, lock up and subterranean passage. The Irish Annals record the castle being taken in 1470.

To be honest there isn’t all that much to see. If there were once any other associated structures or earthworks they have long since gone with development allowed to take place alarmingly close to the castle.
