A quick and dirty test shot, processed in a home-made multi-cylinder Jobo Expert Drum-alike, on an old CPA original machine. Processed in D76+3 for 15mins.
Shot on the Frankengee, with the SOL 6" f:4.5, with hood. Film is Shanghai GP3.

For several years it's been the property of Heritage Ireland, the equivalent of the National Trust http://www.heritageireland.ie/en/ and only in the past couple of years have they started doing anything with it. I'm not sure what the plans are; whether it's being rebuilt to a usable condition or just made safe. Certainly, it used to be totally derelict and was actually quite photogenic as a ruin.

Not as much as there should be - the scan didn't work too well and there's some horrible banding evident, plus the contrast suffered on upload, which I forgot about. This was just an exercise, to see what worked.

Updated with re-worked pic. That wall at the front is a bugger to get detail in without washing out the castle wall. It is a black-ish wall and was heavily shaded. The whole scene was pretty much against a very bright sky from the right.

Thanks for the insight on the building Dave,I still like it,great details in the front wall and in the back wall over the fence, so I think what ever you did has worked!

Cheers, Mo.
This is all a shot in the dark from an unconventional starting point. A strange camera config, unknown lens, cheap film, home-made processor, and diluted developer run on a machine with just a gues at dev time based on my stand dev. I stuck my finger in the air and tried it.
That was just the beginning; the clone brushes and patching tool got used heavily this afternoon, as I couldn't let it lie.
I'm not happy with the detail full screen - it definitely could be better; but it's a learning process - again.
