Corr Castle, also referred to as The Dane's Castle, is a square tower house with a circular stair in one corner. It was believed to have been built in the 16th century, but some excavations done in 1998 seem to point to a century earlier. The tower is believed to be an extension of Howth Castle, and used to defend the Howth peninsula.

It currently stands in the middle of a new housing development of condominiums.
